A road chase in Assam’s Karbi Anglong district was witnessed as police and people in the vicinity pursued a car that could not escape the police and people. The police were quick to point out that the vehicle continued driving for a few kilometres after a tyre was damaged.
The vehicle was pursued after the alleged attempt to escape, the report said. One of its wheels was damaged and the car was driven on its metal rim during the chase, the report said. The driver continued driving and did not stop and police and members of the public continued the chase.
The unusual sight of a vehicle moving along the road with a damaged wheel added to the tense situation as the chase continued from Karbi Anglong towards Nagaon district.
During the escape attempt, the vehicle collided with more than one other vehicle while travelling the course, the report said. The collisions disturbed traffic and increased the risk of the chase.
Police were able to intercept the vehicle in Nagaon district and ended the chase. It is not clear why the vehicle fled and how the chase began.
The incident underlines the dangers of trying to evade police on busy streets. If a car still drives after major damage to the wheel, not only can the car be damaged but so can other people on the road.

The sequence of events will be established by authorities, including why the vehicle was being pursued, how the tyre was damaged and what happened during the journey between Karbi Anglong and Nagaon.

The car was stopped in Nagaon, ending the reported pursuit in Karbi Anglong. Any police reports of any arrests, injuries, damage to other vehicles or other activities would be made public.
