Police said that Vijay, who is wanted in many grave crimes in Madurai, Cuddalore and other districts, was having liquor with his accomplice near his house on Saturday night. He spotted a woman going on a two-wheeler and he kidnapped her with an intention to rape her.
After the police received a call from the ‘100’, when a team from Anna Nagar police rushed to the spot, it was said Vijay threw stones at the police and threatened to attack them. Immediately, an officer fired at him below his knee.
He was rushed to the Government Rajaji Hospital. A criminal case was registered against him, including kidnap of a woman, attempt to rape and attack police officers.
