Police open fire in self-defence’ after Jaffar, taken to Taramani to recover bike used for crime, pulls out a pistol and shoots two rounds
-
A day after three men were arrested by the Greater Chennai Police (GCP) for their alleged involvement in six chain snatching incidents on Tuesday, one of the suspects, 26year-old Jaffar Gulam Hussain Irani from Maharashtra, was killed in an "encounter" by the city police on Wednesday morning.
According to the police, they shot him in "self-defence" after he allegedly fired two rounds at them from a country-made pistol hidden in the stolen bike used for the crimes.
The "encounter" occurred under the Taramani railway bridge when a police team led by Taramani police inspector (L&O) Buhari and two personnel took him there to recover the vehicle.
Greater Chennai Commissioner of Police A Arun, in a press meet on Wednesday, said that Jaffar fired twice at the police but missed. Buhari then fired back, killing Jaffar.
