Four people, including a teenager, who allegedly assaulted a police team which tried to fine one of them for smoking in public, were arrested on Saturday.

Police said the team on its rounds found the 18-year-old teenager smoking in public and stopped to fine him.

Three people then came up to the team and demanded that police remove their vehicle as it was blocking vehicular traffic.

This led to an argument and a minor scuffle resulting in the police officer being shoved aside.

All the four were arrested and booked various sections of the Indian Penal Code including 341 (wrongful restraint), 323 (voluntarily causing hurt), 353 (Assault or criminal force to deter public servant from discharge of his duty)

The arrested wll be produced before a duty magistrate soon, police said.
