LUDHIANA: Additional

deputy commissioner

of police Gurpreet Kaur Purewal received minor injuries after she fell down while cycling near a market at

Punjab Agricultural University

(PAU) on Thursday morning.

Deputy commissioner of police Ashwani Kapoor said Purewal along with other personnel had gone for routine checking about the deployment of police at RSS Shakhas from 6am to 7.30am and was on the way to Agar Nagar via the PAU. She lost balance after she missed a

pothole

and fell on the ground.

Dr Gurmeet Singh, who gave first aid to the officer, said he was out for his morning walk on the PAU campus when he noticed the officer falling on the ground due to the pothole. “She suffered minor injury under the right eye and on the forehead after hitting the pothole. She was given first aid and rushed to DMCH in the escort vehicle. A few other cyclists too have fallen at the same spot due to pothole in the past,” he said.
