A suspected robber has been arrested after an encounter here, police said on Sunday.
Acting on a tip-off, the Kavi Nagar police intercepted two persons, who were on a motorcycle that did not have a registration number, near Manan Dham around 8 pm on Saturday, Senior Superintendent of Police Sudhir Kumar Singh said.
When asked to stop, the pillion rider opened fire on the cops and drove away. After a chase, the police cornered the duo who fired two shots at the officers, Singh said.
A constable named Sandip Malik and one of the suspects sustained injuries. They were rushed to a nearby hospital for treatment, the SSP said.
The arrested person has been identified as Naeem, while the other managed to escape. A countrymade pistol, two live cartridges and three shells of .315 bore have been recovered from the encounter spot, the officer said.
