A wanted criminal was today arrested by Haryana Police after a brief encounter at Naharpur Rupa area of Jind.
Two police teams raided a house in the area at 1 am today based on inputs about the presence of wanted gangster Sudharshan and four of his associates there.
The criminals, however, opened fire on police personnel in a bid to escape, forcing them to retaliate.
Sudharshan was arrested by police after a brief gunfight while four others managed to flee, ACP (PRO) of Gurgaon Police Hawa Singh said.
Three country-made weapons, an artificial pistol and 33 live cartridges were seized from him. He was wanted in several cases including murder and extortion, Singh said.
