Man drags policeman with SUV in Ahmedabad; Wife encourages him
Ahmedabad: A constable sustained severe injuries after being dragged for nearly a kilometre by an SUV during a night vehicle check at Tapovan Circle on Saturday. The driver, identified as Anuj Patel, and his wife, who reportedly encouraged him during the incident, have been arrested.
According to the FIR lodged by Nitesh Ramji, a constable with Chandkheda police, the incident occurred around 11:15 p.m. when Patel’s speeding SUV approached the police barricade. Despite repeated signals to stop, Patel allegedly accelerated, attempting to hit Ramji and his colleague Raymal Pana.
When Patel refused to halt, Pana clung to the vehicle’s half-open driver-side window. Patel's wife, seated in the car, reportedly laughed and urged him to drive faster. The SUV swerved dangerously through residential areas, eventually stopping only after a truck blocked its path, causing Pana to fall and sustain serious injuries.
Inspector Nikunj Solanki confirmed that the couple has been charged with attempted murder, causing grievous hurt to a public servant, abetment, and assault to deter a public servant from duty. Patel, 34, is a land broker, according to police sources.

Cristiano Ronaldo scores his 100th Saudi Pro League goal
Riyadh (AP): Cristiano Ronaldo scored his 100th Saudi Pro League goal as Al-Nassr beat Al-Shabab 4-2 to move five points clear at the top of the table.
The 41-year-old forward converted a Sadio Mané cross at the near post with 15 minutes remaining to record the 971st goal of his career on Thursday. It was also his 26th league goal of the season.
“Ronaldo is always dangerous going forward and we saw that again today,” Al-Nassr coach Jorge Jesus said.
João Félix, signed from Chelsea in July, scored three goals for the league leaders.
The win took Al-Nassr to 82 points from 32 games, five ahead of Al-Hilal, which has three matches, one more than Nassr, left to play. Al-Hilal meets Al-Kholood on Friday and faces Nassr on Tuesday in what could be a title decider against its Riyadh rival.
“Now we have a derby match against our rival, which is a difficult encounter,” Jesus said.
“We are fully aware of its importance, and we are dealing with it with complete focus as we know that small details could decide the result.”
Ronaldo, a five-time Ballon d'Or winner, has yet to secure a major trophy in Saudi Arabia since signing with Al-Nassr in December 2022.
