In an audacious daylight incident in Ghaziabad on Monday, three miscreants managed to flee by continuously firing at police. The police team launched a search operation in the area that continued late into the night.
According to the police, two constables stopped a car at 4.45 pm at a red-light in Govindpur in Ghaziabad city. The three passengers were allegedly drunk. Seeing the police team, they tried to escape but one of the constables, Satbir Talan, overpowered the driver and took control of the vehicle.
The two accused sitting in the rear immediately jumped off the car and ran away. The other constable, Pradeep Kumar, chased them while Satbir was chasing them on the car. While running, the accused opened fire at police constables.
Meanwhile, when Satbir slowed the car down on approaching a speedbreaker, the third driver jumped off the car and ran away.
The constables then started chasing the accused in car, who by then had stopped an autorickshaw and forced the driver at gun point and drove towards Gaur Home apartments.
The apartment block has been cordoned off, but they accused are yet to be arrested.
According to the sources, the accused managed to flee only because the rifles that the cops had with them did not work on time.
