The incident occurred on Friday when the police team reached Jamalgarh village in Nuh district to arrest an accused, Salim alias Salli, in a vehicle theft case.
According to the complaint by ASI Samsuddin, the team, after arresting the accused, left in a private car. However, a white pickup jeep soon started following their vehicle. When the team reached Aadarav Chowk, Jamalgarh, at around 2:00 pm, about 20 men and a woman standing on the side of the road started throwing stones at their vehicle. The driver, constable Vikrant, then turned the vehicle towards Punhana town, but the vehicle overturned on the road.

The family members and the villagers then tried to free the accused from custody, but in the meantime, a constable reached there in a police vehicle, and they all fled away from the spot, ASI Samsuddin said in his complaint.
Punhana SHO Inspector Jasvir Singh said the police are conducting raids to nab the accused.
