'Even The Police Doesn't Stop My Car': Gurgaon Driver Drags Toll Plaza Employee on Bonnet for 8 Km

Gurgaon: A toll plaza employee was reportedly assaulted and dragged on the bonnet of a car for nearly eight kilometres on NH-8 Saturday, police said.

The incident took place at around 12.40 pm when the victim, Ashok Kumar, tried to stop an Innova car at Kherki Daula toll plaza, they said.

"The car with four occupants, in a bid to run away without paying toll tax, hit the boom barrier," DCP Rajesh Singh said.

"Kumar came out of the booth and the errant driver hit him hard following which he fell on the bonnet. The driver then pressed the accelerator paddle," he said.

The victim in his statement said that he saved himself by holding the car's wipers.

"You'll stop my car? Even the police does not stop my car," the driver reportedly said.

"The accused persons took Kumar to an isolated place some eight kilometers in Manesar. They then assaulted him. One of them, Sumit Singh, also threatened him with dire consequence if he approached police," the officer said.

"The entire incident was captured on CCTV cameras. Efforts are on to trace the culprits," he added.
