In the disturbing video, police personnel ACI Sujit Singh can be seen attempting to stop a speeding white Maruti Zen by standing on the road & signaling the driver to pull over. However, ignoring his signals, the accused continues to drive at high speed and rams his car against the policeman after losing control of the steering wheel.
The brutal hit from the car vehicle sent Surjit flying in the air as he came down crashing on the road after being dragged along with the vehicle for a few meters.
Following the accident, the accused Zen driver manages to bring back his car onto the highway but loses control shortly after as the vehicle collides with the nearby divider. Despite all this, he keeps on driving and eventually flees away from the scene, leaving the policeman injured on the road.
