“Police operatives on duty repelled the attackers and prevented them from breaking in and looting the armoury. The armoury is thus intact,” the police said in a series of tweets on Monday hours after the incident.
They added, “The police suffered no human casualty, apart from a Police Constable who sustained a minor bullet wound on his shoulder.
“Meanwhile, one of the operational vehicles of the attackers has been recovered by the police and is currently being subjected to forensic scrutiny and investigations.”
