Nagpur: In a dramatic turn of events at Itwari Sarafa Market, a molestation suspect, Ankush alias Guddu Pintu Bagdi, 37, attempted to evade arrest by setting his Great Dane on police constable Sanjay Ramlal Shahu. The incident unfolded late on August 27, 2024, as Constable Shahu, on night duty, sought to apprehend Ankush for allegedly harassing a young girl.
Upon arriving at Ankush’s residence, tensions escalated quickly. The suspect verbally confronted Constable Shahu and then commanded his Great Dane to attack when the officer moved to make an arrest. The dog inflicted a severe bite on Constable Shahu’s left thumb before the police managed to fend it off with batons, forcing it to retreat.
