A suspected poacher was injured in police firing in Assam’s Biswanath district when he was trying to flee police custody.
The injured suspected poacher has been identified as Dilwar Hussain. He was nabbed by the police on Saturday from Jonai in Dhemaji district for his alleged involvement in a rhino poaching incident in the Kaziranga National Park.
A police official said that when Hussain guided the police to find his accomplices who were also involved in poaching, he tried to flee police custody.
“The police team first warned him to stop, but he didn’t respond. Then they fired at his leg. Later, he was admitted to a hospital,” the police official said.
