A police officer in Kerala's Kannur district was suspended on Tuesday for attempting to mow down a petrol pump employee after being asked to make payment.

The incident occurred on Sunday at 3:30 pm when K. Santhosh Kumar refused to pay after refuelling his car. When the petrol pump attendant, Anil, tried to prevent him from leaving, Kumar started the car and drove forward, causing Anil to fall onto



the bonnet. Kumar then continued to drive for about one kilometre on the busy national highway with Anil clinging to the vehicle's bonnet.
