PUNE: The Pimpri Chinchwad police on Wednesday arrested two men for allegedly abusing and attacking a police constable and sub-inspector, attached to the Chakan police station, when the latter told them to wear masks.
The incident happened in the wee hours of Wednesday at Shel Pimpalgaon village near Chakan.
The suspects — Ganesh Gundgal (28) and Amar Mohite both from Mohitewadi in Khed taluka — were arrested under the relevant sections of the Indian Penal Code.
“A team of the Chakan police personnel were on night patrolling duty. Around 12.30am on Wednesday, the police team noticed two men standing outside an eatery. The officer asked them why they were out at this hour — when the curfew is in effect -- and why they were not wearing masks,” a police officer from the Chakan police station told TOI.
“The duo claimed that they were local residents and stared hurling abuses at the policemen. The suspects also attacked the cops, causing them facial injuries,” the officer added.
