According to the complainant, the incident occurred on May 26 while she was on duty. She said a Hyundai Creta, bearing registration number PB 10 GE 5460, arrived at the plaza around 3 pm. The driver presented her with a toll exemption card. After informing him that it was invalid, he stepped out from the vehicle and began speaking to her in an aggressive tone. She detailed that other car occupants, including another male and a female, approached her senior officer, who also denied giving the toll exemption.
The complainant added that the woman passenger then reportedly held her from behind, while one of the men removed the toll barrier and struck her on the head. He then dragged her by the hair and threw her on the ground. The other male passenger reportedly kicked her and also threatened to kill her.
The fight was broken up by the other toll staff. The accused then fled the scene and headed towards Kharar. The complainant was then taken to civil hospital for treatment.
A case has been registered under Sections 115(2), 126(2) and 351(2) of the BNS. SHO Gharuan Balvinder Singh said, "The vehicle is registered in Ludhiana. We are working on identifying and arresting the accused."...
