The officer was travelling in his civil dress, with his private vehicle and without escort or any special security at the time of the incident.  He was not targeted as a cop. It was purely an opportunistic crime, indiscriminately  and maliciously targeted at citizens using that particular road. He was, perhaps, positionally unlucky at the time of the incident!
