Accused man tries to flee, shot in leg by police
On Thursday, Raghavendra Gaikwad was stabbed on his back by a youth at his residence in Kanthi Galli in Haveripet of Dharwad.
Raghavendra had accused one Khwaja Shirahatti, a mason, of attacking him with a knife.
Dharwad suburban police had nabbed Khwaja and were looking for his associate involved in the crime.
According to police, Khwaja had told the police that he would take them to a place where his associate was hiding. He led them to a field on the outskirts of the city and allegedly tried to escape by attacking police inspector Dayanand Shegunasi and SI Mustafa Bilgi.
The police orally warned him and fired in the air to caution him. When Khwaja did not heed their warning, they shot him in his leg.
Khwaja has been admitted to the district hospital and is being treated, the police said.
Khwaja, a friend of Raghavendra's brother Mahantesh, had gone to Mahantesh's house in Kanthi galli near Haveripet to ask him to return Rs 10,000 lent to him. Mahantesh was not at home and Khwaja spoke to Raghavendra. A heated argument ensued and Khwaja stabbed Raghavendra in the back and fled, leaving the knife stuck in Raghavendra's back. Raghavendra is being treated at KMC-RI Hubballi and is said to be out of danger.

The video, recorded on July 25 at Chashma Point, has gone viral on social media. In the footage, the inspector is seen speaking in a threatening tone and saying, "I will not pay. Do whatever you can," before walking out with the glasses. — gharkekalesh (@gharkekalesh) Shop owner Ajit Singh said the officer had come to replace the lenses in an old pair of spectacles, for which the repair charge was Rs 800. While the inspector had earlier made an advance payment for a separate pair of glasses, Singh said the unpaid amount was for this separate repair. Meanwhile, the Mirzapur Police also released a statement later acknowledging the situation and clarifying some facts. They confirmed that while the inspector did indeed pay in advance for one pair of spectacles, he declined to pay the additional Rs 800 for the separate lens replacement and stood firm despite protest from the shopkeeper. Later, the police official left the shop without paying the remaining amount.
