A 32-year-old police head constable was killed by unidentified robbers at a village here, an official said today.
The policeman, Arvind Sen, was going on his motorcycle last night when he saw some men beating a truck driver, after pulling him out of his vehicle, and snatching his belongings in Dekakand village, Alirajpur's Additional Superintendent of Police (ASP) Seema Alawa told PTI.
Sen stopped his two-wheeler and got down to confront the robbers but they attacked him, she said.
