Despite efforts from others, the assailant did not let go of the sub-inspector. The officer was pushed to the ground, causing his mobile phone, walkie-talkie, and other items to scatter. His uniform was torn, and buttons were ripped off.
A case has been registered at the MG Road police station, and the accused has been taken into custody. The name of the attacker has not yet been released.
