Assam: A dramatic turn of events unfolded late last night during the crime scene reconstruction of Constable Ujjal Bora’s murder, resulting in the shooting of truck driver Abhijit Shobdokar. Police had brought Shobdokar, a suspect in the case, to the scene to assist with the investigation.
According to reports, during the reconstruction exercise, Shobdokar attempted to escape by disarming a police officer. After seizing the officer’s rifle, Shobdokar ignored warnings and continued to resist arrest. In response, police fired a warning shot into the air. When Shobdokar persisted in his defiance, officers fired another shot, injuring him in the leg.
Following the incident, Shobdokar was promptly apprehended and transported to Silchar Medical College for treatment. Authorities have emphasized that a thorough investigation is underway to determine the exact sequence of events and assess the actions taken by the police.
