A 22-year-old mutton shop assistant has been arrested for allegedly attempting to murder two police constables after attacking them while under the influence of alcohol in Karnataka’s Doddaballapur late Sunday night. The accused, identified as Bashir Ahmed, a resident of Doddaballapur town, allegedly launched the assault along with a juvenile associate. The minor has since been sent to a remand home.
The incident unfolded after members of the public alerted the police about two youths allegedly fighting in an intoxicated state in the middle of Hosahalli Main Road. Acting on the information, constables Manikanta and Rayappa Poojari rushed to the spot and attempted to intervene.
Even while making a video, police should have some control over their language.
