Lucknow: Two brothers, both wanted criminals in Bihar, who escaped from a jail in Bihar’s Patna were killed in an encounter with the Uttar Pradesh police in Varanasi, officials said here on Monday.
Varanasi Police Commissioner A Satish Ganesh said the two were injured during the exchange of fire with an Uttar Pradesh police team which was probing the case of a sub-inspector’s service pistol being looted in the Badagaon area.
He said the two were involved in the loot of the weapon which has been recovered from them.
They were rushed to the hospital where they died during treatment, he said.
