A murder accused was shot in leg by police officers in Tamil Nadu after he allegedly attacked them, police said on Monday.
Jambukesavan was arrested for allegedly murdering Aattikutti Suresh, a rowdy-sheeter, in front of the latter’s wife near Srirangam last week. He was among the five people who allegedly killed Suresh.
The police team took Jambukesavan to the spot to recreate the crime scene.
The accused allegedly attacked a sub-inspector following which another cop shot him.
Jambukesavan sustained a bullet wound to his leg and was taken to the District Government Hospital.
“Accused Jambukesavan attacked policemen when he was taken to certain locations for an investigation. For self defence, he was shot on his left leg. Srirangam RDO will conduct an enquiry. He has 15 cases pending in his name,” said Deputy Superintendent of Police Kamini, who visited the hospital and met the wounded sub-inspector.
Further investigation is underway.
