The incident took place when Satish Yadav, attached to the Etmauddaula police station, was on a patrol duty in Tedhi Bagia area, and chased the armed men along with his colleague Kuldeep Yadav, they said.
Kuldeep claimed the four armed men were fleeing on two motorcycles on the Sau Phuta road. When the constables heard the cries of some people, they chased the four men and managed to catch hold of two of them, police said.
The other two who had managed to escape returned and allegedly opened fire on Satish, killing him on the spot.
A few suspects have been taken into custody.
At the police lines, senior police officials including ADG Ajay Anand and SSP Dinesh Dubey attended a condolence meeting and praised the bravery of the deceased constable.
They announced a day's salary by the local police personnel to the family of the deceased.
