Staff Reporter
BANGALORE:
An armed gang opened fire at Krishna, alias Korangu, and other undertrials in Hiriyur police station limits in Chitradurga district on Monday night when they were being escorted to Chitradurga Jail after a court hearing in Bangalore.
According to Chitradurga Superintendent of Police K.L. Sudhir, one of Korangu's accomplices and undertrial prisoner Deepu was killed by a bullet that hit him in the chest. Korangu, who was attacked with swords and choppers, suffered grievous injuries on both hands and has been admitted to the Government Hospital in Chitradurga.
Mr. Sudhir said the attack occurred near Javagondanahalli around 7.30 p.m. where the group halted for dinner.
When the police and the undertrials were about to board after the halt, an armed gang opened fire at the undertrials before attacking Korangu with choppers, Mr. Sudhir said.
Though the police returned fire, the gang escaped.
