A Delhi Police constable was Tuesday knocked down by motorcycle-borne suspected liquor smugglers at a check-post on the Delhi-Haryana border, an officer said. The motorcycle-rider was arrested and his juvenile pillion-rider detained.

Constable Jaswinder Singh Mann, 35, tried to stop the mobike-rider Narender, 19, at Lampur border check post in north Delhi's Narela area Tuesday morning but the motorcyclist knocked him down, police said.
