The constables followed the accused and intercepted them. While one of the men managed to escape, the other, identified as Sajid, got into a fight with the policemen and pushed Lal into a drain, the police said.
Lal, however, did not let go of Sajid and pulled him inside, they added. Sajid also attacked the constable with a knife but was nabbed, they said. The police said Sajid has been involved in several cases of fighting earlier as well. A manhunt is underway to nab the second accused, the police said.
