Dramatic footage from India: A policeman jumped onto the roof of a car that fled a police checkpoint and held on for about 40 km at high speed. The incident began in the Vilankurichi area, where police set up a surprise checkpoint following intelligence information about illegal tobacco transport. A Hyundai Creta car refused to stop, broke through the checkpoint, and fled. Policeman Valmurugan climbed onto the roof of the fleeing car and held on tightly. A police officer on a motorcycle reported in real time and called for ambulance teams. The chase ended at a gas station near the Coimbatore district border, where the three car occupants were arrested. During a search, about 200 kilograms of "Gutka" – a banned chewing tobacco mixture – were seized. The three suspects, residents of Rajasthan who had arrived from Karnataka, were arrested and taken for questioning.
