Officers engaged in a gunfight with a suspected snatcher on Pulia Road, resulting in his capture. The suspect sustained injuries and was promptly taken to a hospital for treatment.
According to police reports, the incident unfolded on Wednesday night when a police team was conducting checks on Kanavani Pulia Road.

In response to the chase, the suspect opened fire on the police. Officers returned fire in self-defense, injuring the suspect. He was subsequently apprehended at the scene.
The arrested individual has been identified as Munasir, also known as Munajir, a 23-year-old resident of Garima Garden in Sahibabad. He was immediately sent to a nearby hospital for medical care.
Police recovered a .315 bore firearm, a spent cartridge, a live round, a stolen motorcycle, and a piece of yellow metal from the suspect. The motorcycle is believed to have been used in various crimes.
Assistant Commissioner of Police Surya Bali Maurya stated that the arrested man is a notorious snatcher known to operate in the Delhi-NCR region. During interrogation, he made several startling revelations, admitting to committing chain snatchings and mobile thefts while frequently changing scooters and motorcycles.
