The incident occurred on Thursday when Mithun Jagadale, a resident of Hosamane Extension in Bhadravati, was driving his vehicle beyond the speed limit on B.H. Road. Traffic policeman Prabhu, who was on duty, instructed Jagadale to stop his car, but the accused ignored the order and instead hit the policeman. Despite the impact, Jagadale continued to drive with Prabhu clinging to the car's bonnet. This reckless act by Jagadale put the policeman's life at serious risk.
The incident was reported to the Kote Police in Shivamogga, who promptly registered a case against Jagadale. The accused was booked on charges of attempting to murder and obstructing a government servant from discharging his duties. This serious nature of the charges highlights the severity of Jagadale's actions. The police quickly apprehended the accused, showcasing their commitment to ensuring the safety of their officers and upholding law and order.
On Friday, Jagadale was presented before a court and remanded to judicial custody. This means that he will remain in custody until his next court appearance. The police investigation will continue to gather evidence and build a strong case against the accused. The incident underscores the importance of respecting law enforcement and obeying traffic regulations. It serves as a stark reminder that reckless driving and violence against law enforcement officers have serious consequences.
