In a shocking incident that unfolded on Friday evening, a man was critically wounded after being shot by three motorcycle-borne assailants outside the Central Jail, according to police reports. The victim, identified as Lalit Kumar, also known by his alias ‘Lalli’, sustained severe bullet injuries in what appears to be a premeditated attack.
Authorities stated that the episode occurred as Lalli, accompanied by two associates, was outside the jail premises awaiting the release of a friend who had been granted bail. It was during this tense vigil that three unidentified men on a motorcycle approached and without warning, discharged three rounds at the group.
Lalli, who was hit, was immediately transported to a nearby private hospital. Medical sources have described his condition as critical. Police records reveal that Lalli himself has a history of criminal activities and had only recently been released on bail in connection with a separate case.
The swift response of law enforcement was noted as senior officials were reported to have arrived at the scene shortly after the attack to assess the situation and oversee the initial investigation. In their pursuit of leads, police are currently examining CCTV footage from surrounding areas in hopes of identifying the three attackers.
This violent act has stirred concerns about security in the vicinity of the Central Jail, prompting discussions on potential measures to prevent such incidents in the future.
Meanwhile, the police are urging anyone with information to come forward to assist in what they have determined to be a crucial investigation into a brazen act of violence that has marred the community’s sense of safety.
