Acting on a tip-off that the truck driver ran away without paying Rs 1,500 for diesel re-fill in his vehicle, two constables chased the truck on their motorcycle last night near Banmore town in the district, Civil Lines police station in-charge Yogendra Singh Jadoun said.
As the two policemen tried to overtake the truck, its driver ran the vehicle over them, killing constable Atibal Singh Chouhan (40) on the spot, he said.

Meanwhile, police impounded the truck and registered a case in this regard, he added.
