This Bollywood-style encounter took place at the Nayagaon toll post near the hanging bridge on National Highway 27. Acting on a tip off, the CNB team was posted at the Nayagaon toll plaza. When miscreants found themselves surrounded by police personnel, they tried to escape by attacking the vehicles and the CNB team. However, the CNB personnel managed to arrest both the miscreants and also recovered 45 sacks of narcotics from them.
Superintendent of CNB Kota, Ranjana Pathak said that an encounter took place between the team of Jawar unit of Madhya Pradesh and the miscreants.
