Both have criminal antecedents, they added.

A video purportedly of the incident has gone viral on social media. In the video, the traffic policeman is seen perched dangerously on the car’s bonnet.

On Friday the police stated that the incident took place at the Mata Rani Chowk, near the municipal corporation office intersection in the city, on Thursday afternoon after on-duty Traffic Head Constable Hardeep Singh signaled the car to stop.

Instead of stopping, the metallic silver-colored car hit the policeman, and as a result of which he landed on its bonnet.

Therefore, the driver drove towards the Jalandhar bypass for about a kilometer with Mr. Singh on the bonnet. They said that the cop fell off the bonnet after the car slowed down due to heavy traffic. However, the occupants of the car managed to escape along with the vehicle.
