Tragedy struck the Alavwa area of Narammala yesterday evening when a man, identified as a 40-year-old father of three, was shot and killed during a police pursuit. Two plainclothes officers from the Narammala Police reportedly chased a lorry and, upon stopping it, fired a shot that fatally struck the driver.
While police maintain that the weapon accidentally discharged while attempting to subdue the driver, local residents who witnessed the incident paint a different picture. Unrest simmered as onlookers claimed the officers deliberately shot the driver, raising concerns about excessive force and lack of transparency.
Details surrounding the incident remain unclear. Authorities have launched an investigation to determine the circumstances of the shooting, and have promised a thorough and impartial probe.
