Last month, another home guard was dragged by a car at the Nagarjuna Circle in Panjagutta. The home guard was checking vehicles for traffic violations like tinted windows.
When he attempted to stop the car, the driver in an attempt to escape dragged the guard for a few metres.
The driver was identified to be a student from an engineering college and was charged with an attempt to commit culpable homicide, assault or criminal force to deter public servants from discharging their duty and obstructing a public servant from discharging public functions under Bharatiya Nyay Sanhita (BNS).
