Four individuals were arrested in Chandigarh, India, after a violent incident during a raid by the anti-narcotics task force (ANTF) on Friday evening. The raid targeted Sunil Kumar, a 32-year-old suspected drug peddler, who managed to escape amid the chaos. The ANTF had received a tip-off regarding Kumar's involvement in drug sales and attempted to intercept him near a petrol station in Sector 26. When police signaled him to stop, Kumar abandoned his scooter and fled on foot, leading to a pursuit by the officers. A crowd gathered, pelting stones and attacking the police, resulting in injuries to two women constables and a sub-inspector. Kumar's family intervened, forcing police to stop a vehicle transporting him, which led to further chaos and his eventual escape on a motorcycle. The police have registered a case against the arrested individuals under various sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), although it remains unclear if Kumar was carrying drugs at the time of his apprehension.
