The Mahadevapura police arrested a private bank employee and his female friend for allegedly assaulting a woman police officer on duty over a trivial row during a drunk driving check in K.R. Puram on Saturday night.
The accused Rakesh Kumar was on a bike ride with his friend from Ramamurthy Nagar when the police stopped them for a check. The police found the rider was under the influence of alcohol, seized the bike and issued them a notice to come to the station the next day. Despite repeated requests, the accused did not move and started arguing with the woman police Sub-Inspector.
The argument got out of control and the accused reportedly manhandled PSI Anitha Kumari prompting her to report the matter to her seniors. The Mahadevapura police rushed to the spot and arrested Rakesh Kumar and his friend on the charge of assaulting a government servant on duty for further investigation.
