Kalaburagi: In a dramatic incident on Tuesday evening near Jafarabad Cross on the Ring Road, police opened fire on an accused linked to an extortion case registered at the Suburban Police Station. The case is associated with an incident near Vaishno Devi Temple in Kalaburagi.
The accused, identified as Imtiaz Makkbhul Gini (28), a known rowdy sheeter, sustained a gunshot injury to his leg. Imtiaz, who works as a fruit vendor, was named as the fourth suspect after investigations led to his involvement. The police had already arrested three individuals in connection with the case.
