Three Delhi Police personnel were injured after they were allegedly attacked with chilli powder, bricks and sticks in the Bhalswa Dairy area on Saturday afternoon. The attack occurred after a motorcycle was seized during a routine vehicle check in Janta Vihar, Mukundpur, the police said. A 17-year-old minor was apprehended at the spot, while the main accused, identified as Sunil alias Pankaj, fled. Police said he is a bad character of the area with five previous criminal cases, including two under the NDPS Act. An FIR has been registered under relevant sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita. Raids are on to arrest the remaining accused.
