Gwalior (Madhya Pradesh): An on-duty traffic constable was dragged on a bonnet of a speeding car for 100 metres in Madhya Pradesh’s Gwalior on Wednesday.
The horrific CCTV footage of the incident has surfaced on the social media. It shows the speeding car hitting the traffic constable when he asked the driver to slow down. Instead, the driver accelerated and dragged him on a bonnet of a speeding car.
