Two miscreants, who were nabbed in connection with an attempt to murder case, suffered bullet injuries in their legs after they tried to flee from police custody on Monday evening.
As per information, the CIA-1 unit of Kurukshetra police had taken the accused for the recovery of weapons during the ongoing remand.
During the recovery, the accused used the weapon in an attempt to flee and opened fire at the police party. In response, the CIA-1 personnel also opened fire, and the main accused Robin alias Monu, a resident of Shahzadpur Patti, and the main shooter Aman, a resident of Karnal, suffered bullet injuries. They were taken to the Civil Hospital in Kurukshetra for treatment.
The accused were arrested in connection with the attempt to murder case of Sunil Kumar alias Bunty, who is engaged in a mining business.
CIA-1 in-charge Prateek Kumar said unidentified miscreants had opened fire at Sunil Kumar alias Bunty on May 31. He had suffered two bullet injuries on his thigh and neck. An FIR was registered at Shahabad police station. During the investigation, on June 2, the CIA-1 arrested the main accused Robin alias Monu, Vijay, Aman and Rahul.
