The harrowing incident, captured on CCTV footage, saw CCB Inspector Subramanya Swamy and five other officers sustain severe injuries as the assailants wielded iron rods, stones, and helmets in their attempt to evade capture.
The incident unfolded in Mavallipura, within the jurisdiction of the Rajanukunte police station. Acting on intelligence regarding drug-related activities at a residence in Mavallipura, CCB officers swiftly moved to conduct a raid on the premises occupied by Nigerian nationals.
