No one was injured in the clash. The incident was reported from Outer Delhi’s Shahbad Dairy area around 2 a.m. on Wednesday. The PCR had received a call about some burglars having entered into a factory in Shahbad’s B-Block.
“The PCR found that the burglars were talking inside the factory. They were warned and asked to come out of the premises. The burglars resorted to stone pelting at the PCR staff,” said Ranvir Singh, Additional CP (Operations). The police team opened fire in the air to scare them into surrendering. The burglars, however, escaped. When police entered the factory, they could only recover a hammer and an iron rod.
A case in this connection has been registered at the local police station and efforts are on to identify the suspects.
