The incident took place when the driver, Pardip Saini (40), was on his way to Pathankot after dropping a passenger in Amritsar via Gurdaspur bypass last night.
“When he reached Babbri bypass near Aujla village at about 10:15 PM on Saturday, a MUV (multi-ultility vehicle) stopped in front of his car. Three men, who were drunk, thrashed Pardip with a stick after accusing him of hitting their vehicle,” Gurdaspur SSP Jagdeep Singh Hundal said on Sunday.
They then pushed him outside and snatched the key of his white coloured car, bearing a Punjab registration number, and took away his vehicle along with the MUV, Saini said in his complaint.
The assailants were speaking in Punjabi, the SSP said, adding, the MUV, bearing a Punjab registration number, had an ‘On Duty’ sticker pasted on it.
