"While the police were in their regular patrol, they suddenly heard and saw a motorcycle with registration number MC 754 AGV and they decided to pursue it,” he said.
He said that the suspect threatened to shoot the police with his pistol and they opened fire and shot him on the leg, but died as he was rushed to MNH. Commander Sirro said that the police was investigating the matter to get more information.
