BELTARODI Police on Tuesday arrested three miscreants for allegedly assaulting a police constable during the ongoing coronavirus lockdown. Identified as Aazam Ashiq Sayyed (19), Arsh Ashiq Sayyed (21) and Raj Ankush Neware (19), the accused are the residents of Rajaram Nagar, Chichbhuvan, Wardha Road. Police Constable Suraj Shalikram Nimbalkar (36) was patrolling the streets around 7.30 pm. As Nimbalkar saw the accused trio standing on the roadside, he asked them to go to their respective houses. Instead of going home, they started misbehaving with Nimbalkar.
 
After an argument, they punched Nimbalkar. They also attacked the constable with stones causing him injuries. On the basis of a complaint lodged by Nimbalkar, police registered an offence under Sections 353 (Assault or criminal force to deter public servant from discharge of his duty), 332 (Voluntarily causing hurt to deter public servant from his duty), 269 (Negligent act likely to spread infection of disease dangerous to life), 188 (Disobedience to order duly promulgated by public servant) and 34 (Acts done by several persons in furtherance of common intention) of the Indian Penal Code against Aazam, Arsh and Raj.
