Two criminals allegedly involved in the killing of a 21-year-old man at Bhaini Amirpur village in Hisar’s Hansi last week, were arrested following a brief exchange of fire with the police on Saturday.
The accused were identified as Ajay alias Aman of Bhaini Amirpur village and his close aide Rahul of Petwar village in the district. Two pistols and one live cartridge were recovered from their possession.
Hansi superintendent of police (SP) Hemender Kumar Meena said the accused were involved in the murder of Sahil, a resident of Bhaini Amirpur after barging into his house over a monetary dispute on January 4.
“Our teams launched searches to arrest them. The duo was intercepted near Gokul Dham gate no. 1 in Hansi, and cops surrounded their vehicle. The accused opened fire at the police team, which retaliated. Both accused sustained bullet injuries in their legs and are now undergoing treatment at civil hospital in Hansi,” he said.
