A routine night-duty nakabandi on November 8 turned into a nightmare for a 43-year-old police constable after a car driver allegedly rammed into him and continued driving with the cop on the bonnet for nearly 200 metres before speeding away. The constable, Dilip Bhoi, sustained a fracture in his right heel and is currently undergoing treatment at MGM New Bombay Hospital in Vashi.

The incident, which was captured by CCTV cameras, occurred during a vehicle-checking operation at Kalamboli, Panvel taluka, when Bhoi noticed something suspicious about a white Maruti Suzuki Swift Dzire and signalled its driver to stop. However, instead of complying, the driver allegedly accelerated, injuring the police officer.
