A suspected gangster who had multiple police cases against him was killed in a shoot-out with the police in Assam's Hailakandi district today.
He was one of the most wanted criminals in the state, the police said.
CCTV footage of the shoot-out shows the gangster, Afzal Hussain Barhuiya, and his aide coming in a Santro car to a market.
As soon as they saw the cops closing in, his aide got down and fled, while Barhuiya was on the driver's seat. A policeman tries to grab his hand, but he attempted to snatch the policeman's gun.
Soon, a gunfight broke out, and the gangster was shot.
The police said they had been tailing the car for several kilometres before trying to arrest him.
His aide has been arrested.
