Chandigarh Cop Injured in Violent Liquor Clash

Chandigarh A disturbing incident unfolded in Chandigarh when a police constable was brutally attacked by a group of young men near a liquor shop. The clash left one policeman with a serious head injury after being struck with a brick, while another officer also sustained injuries during the confrontation. The assault has sparked outrage among citizens, raising concerns over the growing audacity of miscreants targeting law enforcement officials.

According to police reports, the altercation began when the officers noticed a group of youths loitering near a liquor shop late in the evening. The policemen approached the group and instructed them to disperse, reminding them that creating a nuisance in public spaces could lead to trouble. Instead of complying, the group allegedly began arguing with the officers. The situation quickly escalated when one of the men picked up a brick and hurled it at a constable, causing a deep wound on his head. His colleague rushed to his aid, but the group of men turned violent and pushed him as well, injuring him in the scuffle.

Eyewitnesses present at the spot stated that the policemen were only trying to maintain peace and prevent disturbances in the area. “The officers were just doing their duty. Suddenly, one boy picked up a brick and hit the policeman. It was shocking to see such disrespect for the uniform,” said a shopkeeper who witnessed the incident.

The injured policeman was immediately rushed to a nearby hospital, where doctors confirmed that he had sustained a serious head injury but was now in stable condition. His fellow officer received minor treatment for injuries and was later discharged.

Senior police officials have taken the matter very seriously, vowing strict action against the culprits. “Attacking a police officer is a grave crime, and we will ensure that those responsible face the strictest possible punishment under the law,” said a senior Chandigarh police officer. Teams have already been deployed to identify and track down the attackers, who fled the scene after the assault.

This incident has triggered discussions among residents about the increasing lack of respect for law enforcement and the need for stricter enforcement around liquor shops. Many citizens expressed anger and frustration over how easily some miscreants challenge authority and create chaos in public spaces. Social media users also voiced their support for the injured officers, demanding swift justice.

The incident serves as a grim reminder of the dangers faced by police personnel while performing their duties. Whether it is controlling crowds, stopping illegal activities, or maintaining order, police officers often place themselves at risk for the safety of others. While most citizens respect and cooperate with law enforcement, there are still sections of society that choose violence and confrontation over discipline and lawfulness.

As Chandigarh police continue their hunt for the accused, the city stands united in support of its men in uniform. The hope remains that such acts of lawlessness will be dealt with swiftly, ensuring that the safety and dignity of police officers are never compromised.
