Police were conducting night patrols and checking vehicles in the area when they received information from an informer that miscreants were roaming near Ahrigaon and Nahar Puliya villages. The Superintendent of Police, Mahesh Kumar, rushed to the scene and inquired about the incident. Seeing the police, the assailants opened fire, attempting to kill themselves. Despite repeated surrender warnings, the miscreants fired again. In self-defence, the police retaliated, injuring one miscreant in the left leg and another in the right. The third miscreant was arrested at the scene.
