Delhi: In a suspected road rage incident, a 30-year-old police constable died from head injuries after a car dragged him along the road in Delhi’s Nangloi area late last night.
Another constable, Sandeep, who was patrolling in plain clothes was investigating the cases of theft when a speeding WagonR tried to overtake him. He pulled up the driver and asked him to slow down, but the car sped up instead and ran into Sandeep from behind, dragging him and his bike for about 10 meters. They rushed him to a local hospital and then sent him to another, but he died.
