NEW DELHI: In an act where he could have paid with his life, a Delhi police constable chased and overpowered two armed men sitting inside an Ola cab which they had hired after parking their stolen motorbike near Nizamuddin. The constable's brave act has led Delhi police to consider an Out of Turn promotion to him.
The incident happened in the intervening night of 27 and 28 May when constable Jagbir was on a patrolling duty in the Hazrat Nizamuddin area. During the patrolling at about 6 am, he was informed by one Khurshid Alam that two boys in a taxi pointed a country made pistol at him and sped away towards Bhogal. The daredevil constable exhibited exemplary courage and chased the taxi knowing that the occupants of the car were carrying the firearm. On reaching Barapula Bridge, he signalled the driver of the taxi to stop. The constable then placed his bike in front of the car to stop them.
The boys sitting on the rear seat were questioned by the constable. During this time, one person later identified as Abdul Wahab, 23 years, started running and tried to flee. He was chased by the constable without caring for his life and after a hot chase, he was overpowered. "On a cursory search, a country made loaded pistol was recovered. The taxi driver Surjeet Singh also showed courage and overpowered the other person identified as Qamar Nizami. Both the arrested men are from Jamia Nagar," DCP South East, Chinmoy Biswal, said.
