Sonipat, July 7 A slain cop's quick thinking led the Haryana Police to his killers. How? Because he managed to write down the criminal's car number on his hand before dying. Two policemen were found murdered while on night patrol duty in Haryana's Sonipat district last week. Special Police Officer (SPO) Kaptan Singh and Constable Ravinder were found dead on the Gohana-Jind road near Butana in Sonipat district in the early hours of June 30. The two policemen were attacked when they questioned a group of people drinking alcohol in a car at a public place in Sonipat district’s Butana area during night curfew hours. After the shootout, a manhunt was launched to nab the accused. Now six accused have been identified and arrested. And they were traced because one of the deceased policemen had managed to note down their car number on his hand. Revealing the details of the case, SP Jashandeep Singh Randhawa said the accused had started from Jind on June 29 evening after purchasing liquor and food. They stopped their car near a park in Butana in Sonipat. The two policemen, who were on a motorcycle, were passing through the area. They stopped and started questioning the accused.
