Mangaluru, Oct. 22 -- Police shot a man in the leg after he attempted to flee with 10 illegally transported cattle at Puttur rural limits in Dakshina Kannada.
The injured suspect has been identified as Abdulla, 40, from Kasaragod in Kerala. He was accompanied by another suspect who managed to escape.
When signalled to stop, Abdulla sped away, triggering a chase of nearly 10 km. During the pursuit, he allegedly rammed his vehicle into a police jeep.
In response, the PSI fired two rounds: one hit the vehicle, the second struck Abdulla's leg. He was immediately admitted to Wenlock Hospital in Mangaluru.
