Ahmedabad: A police constable posted at Naroda police station was arrested on Wednesday for allegedly driving under the influence of alcohol and ramming his Creta into an Activa carrying a 40-year-old man and his 15-year-old niece in Chandkheda. Inspector (L-Division) Sunita Patel confirmed, “Constable Gaurang Dave has been arrested in connection with the accident.
Police said he continued to behave incoherently after being taken to the police vehicle. Police said they will collect the teenager’s medical records as part of the investigation. They said people detained him and prevented him from leaving until traffic police reached the spot.
