New Delhi: In yet another incident of attacks against policemen, an ASI was allegedly assaulted by the family of a fugitive and a proclaimed offender in Vijay Vihar.

According to the police, the incident took place last Tuesday when a team consisting of assistant sub-inspector Neeraj Kumar, attached to Shahbad Dairy, along with a woman constable and constable Tika Ram had gone to arrest the criminal, identified as Amarjeet. The accused has cases of rape, attempt to murder, threat to life and arms act registered against him.

The police said that on Tuesday the team received a credible information that Amarjeet was in Vijay Vihar and had come to meet his family. On the basis of the tip-off, ASI Neeraj immediately swung into action and along with a woman SI and constable left for the location mentioned.  

As the team reached the spot, they noticed Amarjeet roaming freely on the street. The team ran towards him and nabbed him. But, to their shock, Amarjeet’s family learnt about their son being nabbed and intercepted by the police. The family protested against them and demanded their son’s release. By the time the team understood anything, the family began roughing up the cops.
