Lucknow, Nov. 13 -- Three youths were arrested for allegedly dragging a petrol pump employee for nearly 1.5 km with their car after he tried to stop them from fleeing without paying a Rs.4,000 fuel bill in Gosainganj on November 8, police said on Thursday. The victim, Sachin Kumar, was seriously injured in the incident and is undergoing treatment at the PGI Trauma Centre. According to DCP South Md Mushtaq, the incident took place around 4.20 am at GS Filling Station in Gosainganj. Three men arrived in a black car without a number plate and got fuel worth Rs.4,000 filled in their vehicle. When they tried to leave without paying, Sachin caught hold of the car's door and demanded payment. "Instead of stopping, the occupants allegedly accelerated the vehicle, leaving the employee trapped and dragging him along. They continued driving for around 1.5 km before abandoning him at an isolated location and fleeing," police said sharing details in a press note. "The arrested men have been identified as Aryan Singh Chauhan, 19, Samriddh Chaturvedi, 18, and Divyansh Srivastava, 19. All three are residents of the PGI area in Lucknow," the DCP added. Police formed eight teams to trace the accused and examined footage from around 345 CCTV cameras covering nearly 120 km of roads and surrounding areas. Technical evidence and CCTV footage helped investigators identify the vehicle and its occupants. "During interrogation, the accused allegedly told police that they frequently drove around the city at night in the car without a number plate and had repeatedly filled fuel at petrol pumps without paying. They also claimed to have written 'Advocate, High Court' on their vehicle to create an impression and intimidate people," the DCP added. Police recovered the car used in the crime.
