A jawan got injured and died later as the ATS personnel were chasing two suspected SIMI activists in Ratlam. The ATS however managed to nab one activist, who was shot at by his own associate, who managed to flee from the spot. Later on the ATS managed to arrest one man but it was not clear whether this was the same activist who had fled earlier.
According to information, three ATS jawans were following two suspected SIMI activists outside Ratlam station. One of the activists was Zakir Hussain, who is wanted by ATS in connection with the murder of ATS personnel Ram Prasad Pandey which took place in Khandwa last year.
The SIMI activists got suspicious of ATS movement and as many as 6-7 rounds of gunshots were exchanged between both the sides, in which one ATS jawan Shiv Pratap Singh was hit on the back. The ATS personnel managed to catch hold of Zakir Hussain but his associate shot at him and fled.
The ATS jawan was rushed to the district hospital but was referred to Indore and died on the way. The arrested SIMI activist Zakir Hussain was also admitted in the district hospital in critical condition. The police officials rushed to the hospital but could not interrogate the suspect much due to his critical condition.
Locals informed that one man was nabbed by the police later on but it was not clear whether it was the second SIMI activist. Top police officials had reached the police station till reports last came in.
