The incident occurred when the officer, Aniket Sachan, was conducting raids near Bala More under Karra police station in Khunti district.

“Our officer was conducting a raid when a Hyva (transportation truck) did not stop and tried to hit his vehicle. The truck managed to flee then. But we have identified it. A case has been registered and action is being taken accordingly,” said Khunti deputy commissioner Shashi Ranjan.

On November 14 last year, a similar attempt was made by sand mafia against the circle officer and the sub divisional officer in Garhwa district. The circle officer chased down the truck and arrested the driver.
