He reportedly abused the police personnel verbally and sped away, hitting the woman constable. A case has been registered.
Senior Police Inspector Pramod Wagh, in charge of the Chakan Traffic Division, told the Free Press Journal, "The accused ran away as there were Rs 62,000 worth of pending unpaid fines on the vehicle. We seize vehicles if such high-pending fines exist. To prevent it, he ran away. A case has been registered with Chakan Police Station, and they will investigate the matter further."
