When the accused in the Bengaluru acid attack attempted to flee, he was shot in the leg by police

The shocking Bengaluru acid attack case has a new twist: the accused, identified as Nagesh Babu, was shot in the leg by Bengaluru police near Kengeri around 1.30 a.m. when he allegedly attacked a police constable and attempted to flee.

Nagesh was finally apprehended and arrested on Friday in Tamil Nadu at an ashram in Thiruvannamalai, where he was disguised as a seer attending a religious programme, after a two-week manhunt by seven police teams. He is said to be in stable condition following his hospitalisation for a leg injury.

Nagesh is accused of throwing a litre of acid on a 23-year-old Bengaluru woman 16 days ago after she declined his marriage proposal. The incident sparked outrage, prompting police to release Nagesh’s photographs to the public in an attempt to apprehend him as soon as possible.

The victim, who worked at a private finance firm, was attacked at work by Nagesh and sustained nearly 30% burn injuries. She is still recovering in a hospital. He had been stalking her for years and wanted to marry her, according to the victim’s statement.

According to the police, Nagesh had threatened the victim with dire consequences if she did not accept his proposal the day before the incident. He came prepared to teach her a lesson after the final rejection. Nagesh managed to show up near the stairwell of her office, where he asked her to marry him again, even as the victim left home for work with her father. He threw the acid on her and fled when she refused again.

2 ‘Kala Jatheri gang members’ killed in encounter with F’bad cops in Fatehabad

According to the police, the encounter took place after at least four suspects tried to help their close aide escape from police custody
The Faridabad police gunned down two members of the Kala Jatheri gang in an encounter near Fatehabad on Friday, officers said. A constable was injured in the gunfight, they added.

According to the police, the encounter took place after at least four suspects tried to help their close aide escape from police custody.

The identity of one of the deceased was not known, while the other was identified as Ravi (single name), who had 28 cases lodged against him in multiple districts.

Aman Yadav, assistant commissioner of Police (ACP), Faridabad said the incident occurred when the police van stopped near a roadside eatery on the outskirts of Fatehabad while transporting Ravi back to Faridabad jail after a court appearance in an Arms Act case.

“Four armed individuals attacked the police team, firing multiple rounds to facilitate Ravi’s escape. In retaliation, police returned fire, killing Ravi and another suspect on the spot,” Yadav said.

Constable Sarjeet Yadav suffered a gunshot wound to his left forearm. He was rushed to a civic hospital, where his condition is reported to be stable, said police.

Yadav said that Ravi, who had been lodged in Faridabad jail since April 24, 2023, was being transported after attending an appeal hearing at the Fatehabad court. The ambush, allegedly orchestrated by Ravi’s associates, was intended to secure his release from custody. The police’s swift response thwarted the plan.

Ravi had a long history of violent crimes, including murder, attempted murder, dacoity, robbery, and Arms Act violations. His activities spanned multiple districts, such as Sonipat, Jind, Rohtak, Faridabad, and Delhi. He was a key member of the Kala Jathedi gang, led by the notorious gangster Sandeep alias Kala Jathedi, who is currently in Tihar Jail.

Kala Jathedi himself is implicated in over a dozen cases across Delhi, Haryana, Punjab, Rajasthan, and Uttar Pradesh. In 2020, he famously escaped from Haryana Police custody during a similar ambush orchestrated by his gang.

ACP Yadav confirmed that police teams are actively investigating to identify the remaining attackers involved in the ambush. “We are working to uncover the identities of the other suspects who participated in the operation. Stringent action will be taken against all involved,” Yadav said.

This encounter is part of an ongoing crackdown on organized crime, with authorities aiming to dismantle gangs operating in the region.
