UP: Traffic home guard dragged on car's bonnet for 5 km after driver refuses to stop
Bareilly (UP), Jul 20 (PTI): A 37-year-old home guard on traffic management duty was dragged on a car for nearly 5 kilometres in Bareilly on Saturday night, a police official said on Sunday.
The incident occurred around 11.45 pm when the home guard climbed onto the car's bonnet after the driver refused to stop while being directed away from a one-way road.
Superintendent of Police (City) Manush Pareek, who arrived at the scene to assess the situation, confirmed that the car has been identified and action will be taken against the driver.
"The home guard is fine; however, the driver fled with the vehicle. After the information was broadcast over the wireless, police set up a barrier, which caused the driver to steer the car toward the Chauphula bridge," Pareek said.
With the home guard still hanging onto the car, the driver then proceeded toward Chowki Chowk, from where he turned towards Mission Compound.
Upon noticing the car had slowed down a bit, the home guard managed to jump off the vehicle and save himself.
"The driver then fled with the car, while threatening the home guard," the officer mentioned.
After this incident, a search for the car was launched across the district, the police said.
👏 Commendable work by UP Police. The accused who dragged a homeguard on the car bonnet and hit a traffic officer in Bareilly in the viral video has been swiftly arrested.

What is a ‘substantive motion’? BJP MP initiated one against Rahul Gandhi? Full details here
New Delhi: Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) MP Nishikant Dubey on Thursday said he has initiated a substantive motion against Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi, alleging that he was “hand in glove” with “anti-national” forces.
After Dubey raised the matter during the zero hour in the house, protests ensued leading to adjournment for the day.
In his notice, Dubey accused Rahul Gandhi of having engaged with the Soros Foundation, the Ford Foundation, and USAID, and had travelled to Thailand, Cambodia, Vietnam, and the United States to carry out “anti-India” activities.
Speaking to the presspersons outside Parliament, Dubey said he had demanded cancellation of Gandhi’s membership and sought that he be banned from contesting elections for life time.
Dubey had earlier, in February 2025, filed a privilege motion against Rahul Gandhi accusing him of distorting facts and attempting to undermine the prestige of the country through his speech in the Lok Sabha.
While Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju had indicated that the government might move a privilege motion, but government sources on Thursday said no such decision had been taken.
Responding to the motion, Congress general secretary K. C. Venugopal stated that the Congress party was “not bothered about any motions.”
Venugopal criticised the removal of parts of Rahul Gandhi’s speech during the Lok Sabha debate on the India-U.S. interim trade deal, in which Gandhi had accused the government of compromising national interests.
He also defended the Congress’ move to submit a notice seeking the removal of the Lok Sabha Speaker, stating that the party had not been receiving justice from the Chair.
Responding to the BJP’s criticism, he asked what privilege Gandhi had violated and said that despite past action against him, voters had returned him to Parliament with a higher margin.
What is a substantive motion?
A substantive motion is a formal proposal brought before the Lok Sabha to get a clear and final decision from the House.
It is a complete proposal by itself and is not connected to any other matter being discussed. If the House approves it, the motion becomes the official opinion or decision of the Lok Sabha on that issue.
According to the Lok Sabha rules, such a motion can be taken up only if the Speaker allows it. The Speaker has full authority to accept or reject the proposal and also decides when and how it will be discussed.
If the Speaker admits the motion, members can debate it and then vote on it. In some cases, the matter may also be sent to a special committee to study the issue and submit a report.
A substantive motion forces the House to seriously consider a specific issue and take a clear stand. Since Rahul Gandhi is the Leader of the Opposition, which is a constitutional position, any action against him must follow a proper parliamentary process. A substantive motion provides that proper procedure.
