Man accused of wiping out Amethi family shot in leg
Amethi (UP) (PTI): Police shot a man accused of gunning down an entire Dalit family in Amethi in his leg early Saturday while they were recovering the pistol used in the killing at his instance.
According to police, the incident happened when Sub-Inspector Madan Kumar Singh of Shivratanganj Police Station was taking possession of the pistol found near a canal track.
Just when Singh was inspecting the pistol and its magazine, Chandan Verma, the accused, snatched Singh's gun from his holster and fired at him intending to kill him, police in a statement said.
In defence, Inspector Sachchidanand Rai fired a gunshot which hit Verma in his right leg, they said.
