An accused in the Bihar ASI murder case was injured in a shootout while trying to escape police custody. The incident occurred when the police car he was in met with an accident.

A key accused in the Munger ASI murder case in Bihar was injured in an encounter while trying to escape police custody. Munger SP Syed Imran Masood said the accused tried to flee after the police car he was being taken by met with an accident.

"Mufassil SHO was on his way to arrest another accused in the case. One of the arrested accused, Guddu Yadav, was in the car at the time. Suddenly, a flock of sheep came on the road and the driver hit a tree while trying to avoid the animals," Masood said. Taking advantage of the chaos, Guddu Yadav snatched a constable's rifle and tried to flee. The SHO warned him, but instead, he aimed the rifle at the police team. "The team shot at his leg in self-defence," he said.

The incident occurred in the Bhakarpur area. Four policemen, including the SHO, were injured in the incident.

ASI Murdered In Munger

ASI Santosh Kumar was attacked with a sharp weapon in Munger last Friday, March 14. Given his serious condition, doctors had referred him to Patna. He died late Friday night during treatment in Patna.

Four persons have been arrested so far.

Santosh Kumar was attacked when he was trying to solve a dispute. He was taken to the hospital. He died around 3 AM [on Saturday]. 

Syed Imran Masood earlier said: "The family of one Ranbir Kumar, who were intoxicated, were creating a ruckus in Nandalpur village. ASI Santosh Kumar Singh reached the spot to carry out an investigation. But the family attacked Santosh Kumar Singh and his team, injuring him. He was admitted to the hospital and was later referred to Patna. Ranbir Kumar's family is now absconding and efforts are underway to arrest them."

'Criminals Will Be Subjected To Encounter'

Earlier, Bihar Deputy Sinha said the Bihar Police had full support of the Nitish Kumar government. "Bihar Police has full freedom. Criminals will be taught in their language. If needed, encounters will be carried out.

The back-to-back murders of policemen in Bihar has sparked an intense political war in Bhar ahead of the elections this year. While the Opposition has claimed that "jungle raj" prevails in Bihar, the ruling alliance has countered saying that the crimes were being orchestrated to malign the government.
