He went on to detail that “on reaching the location, the suspected robbers took to their heels on seeing the police. The team began a search in the premises and in the process, one of the suspected armed robbers, yet to be identified, who was hiding in the nearby room opened fire on the police and hit the hand of one of our officers, injuring his two fingers in the process.”

The police officer is on admission at the police hospital. ”Video Player
