Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar, Feb 23: A drunk two-wheeler rider allegedly attacked a traffic constable in Maharashtra’s Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar on Sunday.

The accused, identified as Somnath Giri, was reportedly stopped by traffic constable Santosh Kharat for riding dangerously near a road divider. During the check, he was found to be in an inebriated state.

Eyewitnesses said Giri began arguing with the constable and later called his wife to the spot. The argument escalated as he allegedly behaved aggressively and continued confronting the officer.
