Bengaluru: A rowdy was shot at and caught by the CCB police after he allegedly attacked a constable, who tried to arrest him, at Mariyappanapalya in Jnanabharathi police limits on Tuesday evening.
Vasudev, the rowdy, attacked Umesh, a police constable attached to the CCB, and was shot at. Umesh too sustained injuries and both are being treated at a hospital.
Vasu was involved in attempt to murder case registered at the Rajarajeshwari Nagar police station a year ago, but was absconding since then. Sleuths of the Organised Crime Wing of the CCB, who are conducting a special operation to trace absconding accused in murder and attempt to murder cases, got credible information that Vasu was at Mariyappanapalya.
Vasu is said to be involved in around 10 criminal cases including two murders and an attempt to murder case.
