In a dramatic daytime showdown in Bihar’s Muzaffarpur district, a police encounter with notorious criminals left an Assistant Sub-Inspector critically injured from a gunshot wound. The intense exchange of fire on Tuesday in the Bela police station area stemmed from a raid to nab a infamous ATM fraudster.
Acting on precise intelligence, a police team encircled the suspect’s hideout. As officers closed in, the criminals unleashed a barrage of bullets, catching the law enforcers off guard. ASI Vikas Kumar, stationed at Bela thana, took a direct hit, sustaining serious injuries that sent shockwaves through the locality.
Undeterred, the police retaliated with precision, striking the primary assailant who now lies wounded and in custody. Deputy Inspector General Chandan Kushwaha confirmed the arrests and seizures, noting the suspect’s long history in cyber fraud schemes targeting ATM users. ‘We’ve recovered weapons and evidence linking him to multiple scams,’ Kushwaha stated, emphasizing the team’s resolve.
The injured officer is receiving urgent medical care, with his condition reported as stable. Chaos erupted post-encounter, but forces quickly restored order. Interrogations are underway to dismantle the entire fraud network, signaling a major crackdown on digital criminals plaguing the region.
This brazen attack underscores the rising dangers faced by Bihar’s police in combating organized cybercrime. Authorities vow relentless pursuit, promising justice and enhanced safety measures for frontline warriors.
