The SHO and the constable were allegedly shot dead by the SUV-borne gangsters, who opened fire at the police team chasing them in a private vehicle at Beswa village under the Fatehpur police station in Sikar district on October 6, the police said.
Acting on a tip-off, the police team was on hunt to nab gangster Ajay Chaudhary and his aides when they opened fire. In the firing, the SHO was hit in the neck and the constable on the chest. The duo succumbed to the injuries before they could be rushed to a hospital.
