AP: Ganja smugglers run over cops after their vehicle gets stopped for inspection

A CCTV clip of the incident was going viral on social media platforms sparking debates.

The incident happened in Krishnavaram village of Kirlampudi mandal here in the district when two police constables stopped a vehicle on New Year's eve (Tuesday) for a routine check. The driver, who initially pretended to co-operate, swiftly accelerated his vehicle, injuring both the constables.

A constable identified as Lovaraju fell unconscious with the hit and the other was seriously injured. Both the cops are currently getting treated at a hospital.

Moreover, the clever smugglers abandoned the car on canal road near Rajanagaram and fled the area. However, the police caught them in West Godavari and confiscated the vehicle reportedly transporting Ganja.

More details awaited.
