Police said the incident took place at 1.30 am when a joint team of Bihar STF and Khagaria police was conducting raids in search of wanted criminals. During the operation, police spotted Mohammad Buddin Miyan. An exchange of fire ensued during which Miyan sustained injuries. He was shifted to Khagaria sadar hospital under heavy security. Police seized a country-made rifle, pistol, 11 live cartridges, three empty cartridges and a cell phone from him. "Cases of murder, robbery, extortion and arms-related offences, are registered against him at multiple police stations, including Beldaur and Pasraha," an officer said, adding he had been on the radar for long and he kept evading arrest. The operation was conducted based on intelligence and now raids are underway to trace Miyan's accomplices, police said.
