Additional Director General of Police (Law and Order) KS Anupam told the newspaper that the accused person, Nandan Yadav, opened fire at the police while trying to flee. He was injured in the leg when the police shot at him in retaliation, the officer said. Yadav was taken to hospital.
Yadav and his two accomplices were arrested on Tuesday while three minors were arrested on Monday, Anupam told ANI.
The arrests came after videos of the incident were widely shared on social media. One video shows the boy riding a two-wheeler with the girl seated behind him. A group of men can be seen surrounding them on a dimly lit road and asking whether they were classmates and whether their families knew about their relationship.
The boy says they were classmates, while the girl pleads with the men to let them go. One of the men slaps the boy and asks the two to call their families. “If they know, then call them,” the man can be heard saying.
