According to a statement issued by Prayagraj Police, two men drove through a police barricade during a check near the Anapur outpost of Nawabganj Police Station and opened fire at police.

Police in retaliatory fire shot one of them in the leg and apprehended him, while the other managed to escape, the statement read. The wounded man was admitted to a hospital for treatment.
