“He was found hybernating in the residence of his herbalist, where he went for spiritual fortification. He put up a fierce resistance, and in an attempt to escape, he was fatally wounded, and he succumbed to the injury before arriving at the hospital.”
He said the suspected criminal, who had been on the wanted list of the state police command since October 2017 fled the state.
