LUCKNOW: Over 14 years after an attack on a senior woman police officer, a Bareilly court on Friday convicted three traffic constables and their aide of attempt to murder, said prosecution and police officials on Saturday.

The court ordered the arrest of the four, who were out of jail on bail, and fixed Monday (February 24) as next date for pronouncing the quantum of punishment, said special public prosecutor Manoj Bajpai while talking to media persons.

He said the prosecution will demand strictest punishment for them all to avert such incidents in future.

Bajpai said the trial of the case was going on in the court of Special Judge, Suresh Kumar Gupta of Anti-Corruption Court-I. The special judge convicted former traffic police constables Ravendra Kumar alias Tiger, Manoj Kumar alias Sultan, Ravindra Singh and their close aide Dharmendra Kumar, who was a tempo driver.

The case dates back to 2010, when Kalpana Saxena, the then ASP, Traffic, Bareilly, received information regarding constables extorting money from truck drivers.

After being elevated to the DIG rank, she is currently posted as additional commissioner of police, Ghaziabad.
