A 26-year-old man, Shyam Kumar, made headlines after escaping from police custody at a government hospital where he was undergoing treatment. The dramatic escape followed his arrest, alongside Sameer Ali, during a vehicle check in Noida's Sector 15-A.

The incident unfolded on a Monday night when Kumar and Ali tried to speed away from police officials, only to skid on the road. In a desperate bid to resist arrest, Kumar reportedly opened fire, prompting police to retaliate in self-defense, resulting in the accused being shot in the leg.

Despite the injury, Kumar managed a daring escape from the hospital the following morning. However, the Noida Police swiftly nabbed him in Delhi, uncovering a country-made pistol and ammunition in his possession. With eight prior cases against him, Kumar now faces theft and Arms Act charges.
