Ahmedabad crime branch team attacked during drug raid, 2 cops injured

Ahmedabad: A city crime branch team was attacked during a raid related to suspected MD drugs near Bhat village on Friday afternoon, leaving two police personnel injured after a suspect allegedly rammed a car into one cop and stabbed another with a large knife. The incident occurred around 3.45 pm near Ramji Mandir in Bhat village, on an open plot adjacent to a hotel. Police sub-inspector Rajeshkumar Sharma, along with other personnel, was patrolling in private vehicles when the team noticed suspicious activity — two men on a motorcycle appeared to be in conversation with the occupants of a car.When officers moved in, the motorcyclists attempted to flee but were quickly caught. The car driver, however, accelerated the vehicle towards the team in what police described as a manner likely to cause death or grievous injury. Constable Ramesh Kumar, who was struck and dragged by the car, suffered injuries to his forehead. The car subsequently crashed into a wall. The passenger fled on foot and was pursued by an officer. Meanwhile, Sharma tried to catch hold of the driver, at which point the driver drew a large knife and attacked him. Sharma suffered cuts to his left palm and left leg while defending himself. The suspect then allegedly lunged at his abdomen, slicing through his shirt. When Ramesh Kumar rushed to assist Sharma, he was allegedly stabbed in the chest. He also suffered injuries to both hands. The driver was eventually overpowered, and the knife was seized. A plastic pouch allegedly containing MD drugs, believed to have been part of an ongoing drug deal, was also recovered from the spot. CID Crime has registered a case under the NDPS Act along with sections pertaining to attempt to murder, causing hurt or grievous hurt to deter a public servant from duty, and obstruction of a public servant in the discharge of official functions, based on Sharma's complaint. Three persons have been arrested — Salu Dhor of Rajpur in Mehsana, Nirav Chaudhary of Surat, and Nikunji Thakor of Gandhinagar. A fourth accused, identified as Kalpesh Parmar, remains at large.
