A criminal was shot at when he attacked a Delhi Police constable with a knife in Jangpura late on Friday. Constable Rajesh was with head constable Nasir Hussain and constables Rajesh, Satish and Ravinder at Shastri Market when they spotted Sanjay, Dinesh and Shahid, wanted in cases of snatching. The criminals tried to flee in different directions.
Rajesh chased Sanjay and managed to overpower him near a temple on Mathura Road. Sanjay whipped out a knife from his pocket and slashed Rajesh on his chest and in the right hand. Rajesh was forced to move away, but he warned Sanjay to surrender. Finally, Rajesh was forced to open fire from his 9 mm service revolver in self-defence. Sanjay was hit in his right thigh.
