At around 11 pm, a car was coming from Narnot Jaimal Singh, which was signaled to stop by the police personnel at the police check post. The driver slowed down the speed of the car after seeing the signal, but as soon as the car reached near the check post, the driver increased the speed of the car and drove away from there. It is being told that there were about two to three people in the car at the place where this incident took place. Ahead of this is the Kathalour Police Check Post.
