A murder accused was injured in a brief exchange of fire with police after allegedly shooting at the personnel using a country-made gun hidden in a bush in Saravanampatti here on Tuesday, officials said.
Police said Sanjay Raja, the leader of a local gang in Coimbatore, was allegedly involved in the murder of a man in Avarampalayam area of the city a fortnight ago. He had surrendered before a court in Chennai a few days ago and was remanded in custody.
Around 7 am on Tuesday, police took the accused to Saravanampatti in the city to recover a country-made pistol apparently used in the murder by the gang.
When the team was scouring the place for the weapon, Raja suddenly got hold of the gun hidden in the bush and fired a round at the police inspector, who managed to avoid it, they said.
