A case has been filed against a man from Karnataka’s Shivamogga for allegedly driving his car with a traffic cop hanging on the hood. A video showing the policeman hanging on the hood of the car is going viral on social media.

The incident took place when the constable, identified as Prabhu, tried to stop the accused, identified as Mithun. The incident took place on Wednesday afternoon on a busy street when Prabhu tried to stop Mithun’s vehicle, asking him to park by the road.

According to the footage that went viral, the man can be seen arguing with the policeman, who was standing in front of the car and asking him to park it. Instead, Mithun allegedly sped the car with the traffic official on top of the hood of the car. He, however, stopped after about 100 meters before fleeing the scene.

Following the incident, a case was registered against Mithun. The Shivamogga police assured that they have launched a manhunt to nab the accused.

The police also assured that the accused will be arrested soon.
