ROHTAK:

The criminal identified as Yash of Khewra village in Sonepat suffered at least one bullet injury during the gunfight while three or four unidentified aides managed to flee due to dense fog and low visibility.

Rohtak superintendent of police (SP) Narendra Bijarniya said that they got information that Yash, who was involved in firing shots at two brothers at Bhiwani's Kharak village last week, is roaming with his aides in Hisar area. "The STF officials had surrounded a car in which the accused were travelling and Yash came out of the car and opened fire at the police team. His aides managed to flee from the spot. The injured assailant is undergoing treatment at a hospital," the SP added.
