Horrific incident captured on CCTV

In another clip, the security guard can be seen thrown to the ground as other security guards and the police officer start circling the car. The vehicle then shoots off again and escapes.
Complaint filed month and a half ago
Police said the complaint against the accused was filed a month and a half ago. He has since changed companies and is currently a general manager at a firm in Gurgaon.
The security guard, Ashok Mavi, reportedly sustained injuries on his shoulder and legs. On his complaint, a case under sections 279 (rash driving), 427 (causing damage) and 338 (grievous hurt or endangering life) of Indian Penal Code was registered against Singh on Wednesday, police said.
