After the police patrolling van reached the spot, the trio allegedly misbehaved and assaulted the police as well.

The officials then booked all three. However, only the guys were arrested, as a female cannot be taken into custody after sunset.

She was on her way home, when she banged her car into the vehicles, allegedly damaging three cars and four two-wheelers.
