A 45-year-old Ghana national has been arrested by the Banaswadi police in India for allegedly attacking a cop.
About five policemen went to arrest him after news broke that he was swindling locals at a popular restaurant.
According to the India Times, Adams Darmeng hit one of the plainclothes policemen Constable Shiva Kumar with a chair at a multi-national chain of restaurant outlet Thursday.
Darmeng had travelled to India on a tourist visa on January 24,
"He does not have a permanent residence and takes shelter by befriending some people. He had come to India on a tourist visa on January 24 and had been shuttling across the city offering people that he would give them US $ 1000 against Rs 30,000. We were keeping a watch on him all these days,” P Harishekaran, a senior police officer told the TOI.
“He took out a chair and hit at one of the constables Shiva Kumar, who was on the verge of catching him. Seeing the assault, other four constables who were present there pinned him down and caught him,” he said.
“We have sought the court to remand him to police custody and the court has granted two days police custody. We have to elicit more information from him about his actual dealings in the city.”
He is expected back in court next week.
