New Delhi: In an extraordinary act of bravery, a Delhi Police constable, despite being shot in the leg by two bike-borne criminals, managed to overpower the two miscreants near the BRT corridor in Defence Colony, here on Wednesday morning.

Constable Naveen from the Defence Colony police station, who was coming from the BRT side towards the police station, spotted a bike without a number plate and started chasing it. He also gave a call to constable Manish, asking him to cordon off the area.
