PATNA, Sept. 23 -- "Four lane par gadi rok ke dikha, koi goli thok ke dikha (by firing a bullet, show that someone is on the forelane road and there is no obstruction)'.

Now, after photos of him being shot in the leg during the encounter and left helpless in the sadar hospital came to light, internet users are commenting on the same reel.
Some netizens commented-'Have you seen the result of the misbehave with minor, the police really gave him a proper treatment.'
