Cop on bonnet, gun shots stop the car
WSN Network

Pune: A 65-year-old Canadian national living in Pune for last 10 years tried to run over a traffic cop in broad daylight in Pune and then drove  through Pune Camp with the cop precariously perched on the bonnet. A senior police official, a DCP, who was passing by, followed the car and fired six rounds to force the man to stop. The man, now behind bars, was identified as Kamal Jain.

The cop said he was trying to put a jammer in a wrongly parked car when a man emerged from a building, sat in the driver's seat and started driving. He took the car in reverse in high speed and then drove away with the cop perched on the bonnet. He steered the car in a zig-zag manner to shake the cop off the bonnet. On the way he hit two motorcycles, which left two people injured. The commotion drew a horde of people with many following the car. A DCP passing by in his car accompanied by police constable Prashant Mandale spotted the cop on the bonnet. He put on the police siren and signalled Jain to stop but had to fire rounds from a revolver but had to be very careful since he was driving at more than 80 km per hour and that too in a haphazard manner.
