KALYAN: A police team out to nab a thief in Bhiwandi was attacked by his relatives after he jumped from the fourth floor of a building to evade arrest and died on the spot. Three cops have suffered injuries due to the assault.
The cops from the Bhiwandi crime branch unit along with their Gujarat counterpart were blamed and attacked for the death of the accused by his relatives and friends. The video of the attack on the cops has gone viral on social media.
The incident came to light recently when the Gujarat police came to know that Jamil Takla alias Qureshi (38), involved in various thefts in Vapi, had come to his residence in Kasaiwada, Bhiwandi.
To avoid arrest, Takla jumped from the building as he had done in the past, but it proved fatal this time.
