India
A police chase in Coimbatore got wild when head constable Velmurugan literally clung to the roof of a moving car for almost 40km.
The car, packed with smuggled tobacco, sped off after skipping a checkpoint, while the whole scene was caught on video and has now gone viral on social media.
Police seize gutkha, detain 3
It all started with a tipoff about 300kg of "gutkha" and other tobacco products.
As police tried to stop the suspects, head constable Velmurugan ended up on top of their vehicle while a sub-inspector alerted the control room and ambulance services.
The chase finally ended near the district border, where police seized 200kg of gutkha and detained three accused from Rajasthan.
An investigation is still underway as authorities look into the matter.
