Advocate assaulted by cop in road rage

Advocate Cholendran had preferred a complaint with Adyar Police seeking action against the traffic cop identified as Ujin. Sources said the incident took place along Indira Nagar II Avenue near a youth hostel, at around 10 am. Susetha, (23), a private dental college, also a resident of Indira Nagar II avenue, knocked down Rohith, (29), resident of Tiruvanmiyur, deputy manager, Lakshmi Vilas Bank, Guindy. As the mishap victim suffered multiple fractures, the traffic cop Ujin who responded to the situation verbally abused Susetha, and her father Cholendran rushed to the spot and chided Ujin to mind his language. In the heat of the moment, Ujin assaulted the advocate, and the passersby intervened and rescued the advocate. Meanwhile, Rohith was admitted to a private hospital, and a separate case was being pursued by the traffic investigation wing of Adyar. 

Both the advocate and his daughter met the ACP – Adyar, and presented their complaint against the cop. Adyar Police who downplayed the incident as a mere altercation, maintained that they had only received a complaint from the advocate.
