According to their statements, they were conducting routine challans for traffic violations. Around 7.45pm, a vehicle jumped a red light and when Sailesh signaled to stop, the driver initially complied but suddenly tried to flee, dragging the staff for about 20 meters before speeding away from the scene, the officer said.
