Karnataka woman assaulted and robbed, accused shot
A 60-year-old differently-abled Dalit woman was allegedly raped and robbed by 23-year-old Fairoz Yasin Yaragatti in Dandeli, Uttara Kannada on June 12. Yaragatti, who already had a criminal record, targeted the woman.
TL;DR
Accused fought back with stones and knife during arrest
After identifying Yaragatti through photos, police tracked him down near the Dandeli-Yellapur highway. When officers tried to arrest him, he fought back with stones and a knife—injuring two policemen. Sub-Inspector Kiran Patil responded by shooting him in the leg after warning shots. Both Yaragatti and the injured officers are now being treated at Dandeli Government Hospital as investigations continue under senior supervision.
