In a swift response, the police established a checkpoint near Polytechnic College Manesar on NH-48. Shortly thereafter, a motorcycle approached the police, and when officers signaled for the rider to halt, he opened fire and attempted to flee. Nevertheless, he was subdued by the police.
During the confrontation, the suspect sustained a gunshot wound to his leg, as reported by the police.
