The sharpshooter, identified as Ashok, hailing from Randhera in Shergarh police station, was arrested from near Bahrawali tonight, Superintendent of Police (Rural) Aditya Kumar Shukla said.
"In the encounter, while sharpshooter Ashok received gunshot injury in his foot, sub-inspector Dheeraj Gautam posted in Chhatta police station received gunshot injury in his hand," Shukla said, adding that the injured have been hospitalised.
A motorcycle, a country-made pistol and five live and five blank cartridges were seized from him, the police officer said.
