HYDERABAD: A drunk youth who sped away in a police vehicle while being questioned by cops late on Thursday night for creating nuisance was arrested after a hot pursuit in Miryalaguda, Nalgonda.
Cops chased Vamshi,overtook him near a checkpost on NH-163 and took him into custody. Vamshi, a native of Mukundapuram in Nereducherla, works as a driver in Hyderabad, police said.
The high drama started around midnight after Miryalaguda rural CI Ramesh Babu and his driver got down from their vehicle to question four youths, including Vamshi, for causing nuisance on the road near Edulagudem.
Vamshi took the cops by surprise by sitting in the vehicle and speeding away. Cops gave a chase for 3km before they apprehended the culprit at the Alagadapa checkpost. By then, Vamshi crashed the vehicle against a road divider and a lorry as he raced ahead.
“I was returning home and saw the four drunk youth. They had taken off their shirts and stood in the middle of the road causing nuisance,” said Ramesh Babu. “They gave rash replies when asked as to why they were on the road in the dead of the night,” he told TOI. Once the cops started grilling, the four youth ran away from the spot.
There was a scooty which belonged to them. “We waited for them as we were sure they would come back for their vehicle,” Ramesh Babu said. After some time, one of them (Vamshi) returned. But, he got into the police vehicle and drove away in it. Ramesh Babu immediately alerted rural SI Parmesh who was at Yadgarpalli to pursue. Vamshi was overpowered and later handed over to Miryalaguda 1 Town police station. Police said a case would be booked against him and others.
