New Delhi [India], October 29 (ANI): An armed wanted criminal was apprehended by the Delhi Police after an exchange of fire in the New Usmanpur area early Wednesday morning, officials said.

According to police, the incident occurred around 2:00 AM, when a team of Delhi police, acting on specific information, was conducting checks under the supervision of the ACP (Operations) in the area.

During the operation, the team noticed a person riding a motorcycle without a registration plate near Zero Pushta, close to Bijli Ghar. When signalled to stop, the rider drew a pistol, fired at the police team, and tried to flee.

The police team directed him to surrender, but the accused fired again, aiming at Constable. The bullet struck the constable's bulletproof jacket, preventing injury.

The police retaliated by firing two rounds, one of which hit the accused on his left leg, officials said.
