Gujarat: Cop asks man not to use abusive words during Ganesh immersion procession, stabbed
Bharuch (Gujarat), Sept 18: A head constable was stabbed by a man with a criminal past when he asked him not to use foul language during Ganesh idol immersion processions in Bharuch district, police said on Wednesday.
The injured head constable was rushed to a hospital by his colleagues. He is out of danger, an official said.
The accused, Mahesh Vasava, was nabbed from the spot in Ankleshwar town and arrested on the charges of attempting to murder and injuring an on-duty public servant, said Deputy Superintendent of Police, Kushal Oza.
The incident occurred Tuesday night when the head constable, Lalit Purohit, and his colleagues were managing traffic in the Bharuchi Naka area, he said.
"The head constable noticed Vasava yelling and abusing people without provocation. Vasava became angry when Purohit asked him to behave and started fighting with the head constable. He pulled out a knife and stabbed the policeman in his arm and abdomen. Purohit sustained deep wounds. He was immediately rushed to a hospital. He is currently out of danger," said Oza.
A preliminary probe disclosed that Vasava had attacked a policeman in Ankleshwar town in 2016 following which he was served a non-bailable warrant by a court, the police officer added.

Put petty politics aside; it's not about one party, but India: Rahul on TMC's loss in polls
New Delhi (PTI): Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Tuesday termed the BJP's victory in Bengal and Assam assembly polls a "theft" of the mandate, and a big step forward in the saffron party's mission to "destroy" Indian democracy.
Gandhi also came out in support of the TMC, which has been trounced by the BJP in the polls, and urged those gloating over the loss of Mamata Banerjee's party to put petty politics aside.
"Some in the Congress, and others, are gloating about TMC's loss.They need to understand this clearly - the theft of Assam and Bengal's mandate is a big step forward by the BJP in its mission to destroy Indian democracy," Gandhi said in a post on X.
"Put petty politics aside. This is not about one party or another. This is about India," he said in his post.
The BJP ousted Trinamool Congress from power in Bengal and captured power for the third time in a row in Assam in results of assembly polls declared on Monday.
