Bengaluru: The police allegedly shot at a rowdy-sheeter on Monday morning after he attacked an officer who had asked him to surrender on the outskirts of the city, officials said.

The incident occurred near Mayasandra village within the Attibele police station limits, they added.

Lokesh (40), who has been arrested, has multiple cases registered against him, including charges of murder, extortion, and kidnapping, police stated.
