One of them has received bullet injury in the leg and has been hospitalized. Three others have been taken for questioning,” Senior Superintendent of Police, Love Kumar told Hindustan Times.
According to the HT report, police officials said they zeroed in on the suspects after they were tipped off about the presence of six criminals near Sabota village underpass. The report further adds that a team of Jewar police, in collaboration with officials from the crime branch, cordoned off the nearby areas. In their bid to escape the criminals opened fire at the policemen.
The encounter began after 2:30 am at night and lasted for two hours. At least 20 rounds were fired by the alleged culprits, police officials told the newspaper. In spite of police officials returning fire, two of the criminals managed to escape. “The two men taking benefit of darkness fled from the spot after which we launched a combing operation. We are hopeful of arresting them soon,” Kumar told HT.
