00:00It could have been a big incident. It felt like the police could have been killed.
00:07But thank God, nothing like this happened.
00:11He did fire at the police team. He was the main criminal.
00:16But after our team was saved, when we fired at him in retaliation, he died in that fire.
00:24How did the Dharam Police get the input that there were many cases against him?
00:29And when he fled, what was the input that he came back to the state?
00:34It was around June 23-24, when he fled after being shot.
00:41Since then, he has been on our radar. We never left him alone.
00:46We did not get any input for 2-3 months.
00:49We were keeping a close watch on his family for the past week.
00:56We were keeping a close watch on his brother-in-law, his sister, his mother.
01:02We got some input that he has been in the city for 2 days.
01:07And he is hiding from us.
01:10We were working on that input.
01:15He must have come from a bus or railway station.
01:19We have been checking him since morning.
01:22Yesterday, we checked his lodge as well.
01:26But today, in the evening, when we left for different places,
01:32we saw him coming to this road.
01:36As soon as we tried to stop him, he had a pistol.
01:41Initially, he fired 2 rounds on our vehicle.
01:44He fled after firing.
01:46After that, our team retaliated.
01:49Sir, could he have been caught?
01:52Could he have been encountered?
01:55We only fired in defence.
01:59If he had not fired, we could have caught him alive.
02:03While firing, we were very careful.
02:08As soon as we tried to kill him, he was shot in the leg.
02:15But he was not surrendering.
02:19After that, we fired 5-6 rounds.
02:23After that, we either let him go or pressurize him.
02:30Has the police been involved?
02:34No, no one has been involved.
