A wanted criminal with a bloody trail across Bihar met his match in Patna police during an explosive early morning encounter. Prahlad Kumar, accused in numerous violent offenses, lies hospitalized after being shot in a bid to apprehend him in Kankarbagh.
The sequence of events began with a tipster’s call pinpointing Kumar’s location at a roadside eatery. Elite forces mobilized swiftly, surrounding the premises without alerting the target. Chaos erupted when Kumar, sensing danger, drew his weapon and initiated fire.
Braving the assault, policemen returned measured fire, striking Kumar in non-vital areas. One officer received minor shrapnel injuries but remained on duty. The entire firefight wrapped up within minutes, showcasing superior training and coordination.
Investigators recovered sophisticated weaponry and communication devices from Kumar, suggesting deeper syndicate involvement. SSP Patna elaborated, ‘This is part of Operation Clean Sweep targeting interstate criminal modules.’
Local businesses, long victimized by extortion rackets, expressed overwhelming relief. ‘Nights will be safer now,’ said a relieved trader.
With Prahlad under tight security and spilling details on his patrons, police foresee a domino effect of arrests. This victory not only avenges past victims but fortifies public trust in law enforcement’s resolve against the criminal underbelly plaguing the region.
