At around 01:00 AM on Thursday, a suspicious person was seen coming from the CA Block jhuggis and walking toward the Ekta Camp Jhuggis. The police’s informer confirmed that he was Guddu. Following this, Senior Inspector Sumit Kalkal instructed the suspect to surrender, but instead, the individual started running alongside Munak Nahar towards the CA Block Jhuggis. Inspector Somveer Singh immediately alerted the raiding team members to pursue the suspect and personally began chasing him while loudly identifying himself and warning the suspect.

Attempting to flee, Inspector Somveer Singh and his team pursued the suspect. During the chase, the accused pulled out a pistol and opened fire on the police team with the intent to kill, ignoring clear warnings by the police. The bullet struck the bulletproof jacket of Head Constable Narsi Ram, preventing injury, the police said. In response, Head Constable Satya Narender fired a warning shot in the air and again asked the accused to surrender. However, as the accused tried to reload his weapon, HC Narender fired a second shot aimed at the lower body. The bullet struck the accused in the right leg, bringing him down. (ANI)
