Five persons, including two women, were arrested in Vaishali district yesterday for beating up a sub-inspector of police and snatching his service revolver, a senior official said. Superintendent of Police, Manavjeet Singh Dhillon said the sub-inspector Praneshwar Paswan was assaulted inside the Sadar hospital premises at Hajipur town by Chandni Kumari, whose father was injured in a brawl with his brother over some property dispute last night.
Chandni's mother had registered a complaint at Chandpura outpost but declined to put her signature on the same saying she would do so only after due consultations with her family members. This morning, Paswan went to the hospital to obtain the complainant's signature but Chandni accused him of having "provoked" her mother to lodge a complaint against her uncle and attacked him, the SP said.
