Chandigarh Police shot two accused in the leg after they attempted to escape from custody while being transported from Jammu to Chandigarh. The suspects, identified as Aryan and Sunny Mehra, were arrested in connection with the murder of Janki Das, a cashier at Shri Kumar Medical Hall in Sector-11. Both sustained bullet injuries and were admitted to GMSH-16, where doctors stated their condition was out of danger.
Details of the Incident
On Wednesday night, the police were bringing the two accused on transit remand from Jammu to Chandigarh. As the vehicle reached the back side of Punjab University, the suspects reportedly tried to flee. The police initially attempted to stop them, but when they failed to comply, officers fired shots. Both Aryan and Sunny Mehra were hit in the leg.
