“Police received a complaint that some persons were drinking liquor in the open and creating public nuisance. The highway patrol vehicle reached the place followed by the police patrol van. When police told the miscreants to stop drinking and go home, an altercation ensued between the group and the police,” Gawas said.

The police went to nab one of them to put him inside the police van that is the when the rest of the people in the group got angry and attacked the police. They also damaged both the police vehicles and injured four policemen before fleeing.
