The Delhi Police has arrested an absconding murder suspect after an exchange of fire near Munak canal in northwest Delhi, an official said on Friday.
The incident took place around 1 am when a team intercepted the accused, identified as Guddu (23), near AU Block on the basis of a tip-off, he said.
“On being asked to surrender, he opened fire and one of the bullets hit the bulletproof jacket of a constable. Police then fired back, injuring him in the leg,” Deputy Commissioner of Police (Northwest) Bhisham Singh said.
The officer further said that a country-made pistol with cartridges was recovered from Guddu, who is a resident of Shalimar Bagh.
