According to police officials, the accused had been absconding since the murders and was attempting to evade capture by frequently changing locations. Acting on specific intelligence inputs, law enforcement teams tracked his movement and launched an operation to intercept him.

Authorities stated that the encounter took place when police attempted to stop the suspect. During the operation, the accused allegedly tried to flee and reportedly opened fire at the police team, prompting retaliatory action. The suspect sustained injuries during the exchange of fire and was immediately taken into custody before being shifted to a hospital for treatment.
