Hansi, March 7 — A special task force (STF) of Hansi police arrested two men following a brief encounter on the outskirts of Sheikhpura village late Thursday, officials said Friday.
The suspects, identified as Ravi Kumar and Inder Saini, were wanted in connection with recent firing incidents in Sheikhpura and Dhani Puria villages. Police said both men had been absconding after being booked for attempted murder and arms-related offenses.
Superintendent of Police (SP) Hemendra Kumar Meena said officers recovered three pistols and five live cartridges from them. “Both of them had fired shots in Sheikhpura and Dhani Puria villages recently. Our teams had been searching for them,” he said.
According to police, the accused opened fire at the STF team during the operation. In retaliation, Ravi sustained a leg injury and was taken to a local hospital, while Inder was apprehended from the scene.
Police sources said Ravi has prior cases under the Arms Act, along with charges of theft and attempted murder. Inder is facing two Arms Act cases, an attempted murder charge, and an offense under the Excise Act.
