Constable Rajbahadur Yadav (50) took a bullet in the chest during police action yesterday night to catch Ravindra Rajak, a history-sheeter accused in several cases of loot and theft, Superintendent of Police Kumar Pratik said. The incident happened around 9pm.
Pratik said that a five-member police team, during the raid, had managed to catch Rajak's accomplice Neelu Dhimar.
"In an attempt to get Dhimar released, Rajak opened fire from his country made revolver, hitting constable Rajbahadur Yadav in the chest," he said.
He said, "Rajak is a history-sheeter with 19 cases of loot, theft and other crimes registered against him in different police stations in Tikamgarh."
The police officer said that a case under IPC sections 302 (murder), 34 (criminal act done by several persons) had been registered and a hunt for Rajak and his other accomplices was underway.
