GHAZIABAD: A Ghaziabad court on Friday sentenced a man to seven years in jail for opening fire at police during a checking drive. The convict, 35-year-old Nurul, is a resident of Mustafabad in Delhi. Indirapuram police were conducting a checking drive in 2008 when the incident took place.
Ashutosh Kumar, the SHO of Indirapuram at that time, filed a complaint in the case on September 28, 2008. He said the police team spotted a suspicious person riding on a motorcycle and indicated to him to stop. “However, he opened fire at the cops and tried to escape. The police team narrowly escaped and arrested him after a brief chase,” the complaint read.
