A criminal carrying a reward of Rs 25,000 was arrested after he was injured in an encounter on Sunday evening in the Kankarkheda police station area here, police said, adding that he had allegedly shot at a sub-inspector recently.
The arrested accused has been identified as Anuj Kumar.
Senior Superintendent of Police Rohit Singh Sajwan said that the police, acting on a tip-off, asked him to stop during checking. However, he turned away his motorcycle, and tried to flee.
Police then started chasing him, following which he fell from the motorcycle. Then, the accused started running and fired at police with the intention to kill them, Mr Sajwan said.
Police in self-defense fired at him, and he sustained injuries on his leg.
