More teams were called in to search the area and catch Sumit. He fired at the police teams when they got close to him, following which he was shot in the leg when the police fired back.

umit has been arrested and is currently being treated at a hospital. It has been found that Sumit has been arrested in the past for selling illegal liquor.
