During the operation  on the intervening night of December 2 and 3, Constable Tajib Khan was injured in the leg while a vehicle was damaged by a mob that tried to obstruct the team and resorted to firing and stone-pelting, an NIA spokesperson said.

“A large crowd of men and women tried to obstruct the police and the NIA team. The mob also caused roadblocks. In self-defence, the personnel  fired into the air,” he said. The two suspects are being questioned even as a search is on for Malook. — TNS
