Following a conflict with people in the Masuri Thana locality of Ghaziabad, Noida Police officials were assaulted. A Noida Police squad had come to the scene to look into a possible theft of a cell phone.
In the course of the altercation, the police car was allegedly vandalized, and one of the officers’ official handguns disappeared during the alleged altercation. Four police officers were injured in the incident and are being treated at a hospital.
The Hyundai Creta being driven by the Noida police team was on its way back from Masauta village. The fight is reported to have happened close to a busy bridge in the village after a dispute over allowing another car to pass at a culvert erupted between the villagers and the police squad.
As soon as Ghaziabad Police learned of the occurrence, they launched an inquiry to find the perpetrators.
‘The Noida Police team had come to Masauta village, under the Masoori police station area of Ghaziabad, to probe a case lodged in Noida. There is a narrow culvert near the village where an argument broke out between the two sides over the passage of the vehicle,’ Assistant Commissioner of Police (Masoori, Ghaziabad) Naresh Kumar said.
‘The locals attacked the police team and two personnel were injured. A service pistol of the personnel also went missing from the spot,’ Kumar said.
Mule Chauhan, Vishal, Ankit, and Rinku—who were in the second car—have been identified as the people who attacked the police officers. The four accused are reportedly mostly locals who also believed the plain-clothed police officers to be strangers.
