Another policeman assaulted, robbed

The police suspect the motive of the attack as robbery. However, since the victim has not yet been able to make a statement, it8217;s unclear what, if anything, has been stolen from him. Kanwar Pal is posted at Kanpur. He was on his way to his in-laws8217; Bhajanpura residence when the attack took place.

He had apparently come to fetch his wife who had reportedly been staying with her parents for a while. This is the third such incident when a policeman has been attacked in north-east Delhi. Four days ago, a Delhi Police constable and his wife were stabbed by unidentified assailants. Another constable8217;s house was recently robbed by some intruders who also stabbed him.
