In the viral video, the constable could be seen speaking to the driver of a vehicle as a routine when the black Scorpio SUV emerges on the scene. The SUV suddenly rams into the stationery car. Before the policeman on duty could react, he is hit and tossed into the air by the rampaging vehicle.

The car does not stop there but hits the barricade and drags the fence along with the policeman to a distance before eventually coming to a halt.

Soon after the accident, the errant driver of the SUV, Ram Lakhan, was arrested on the spot and the vehicle was seized, the police said.

A case under relevant sections of law has been registered in this regard, said the police.
