A robbery accused was rescued by a police constable after the former fell into a well while trying to evade the police. The police constable, Shivakumar, was rewarded by the city police commissioner on Monday after he rescued the accused who tried to flee following a robbery attempt.
The alleged robbery took place on October 3 around 3.50pm in Maruthi Nagar. The complainant, Reddy Shekar, was on his two-wheeler when he was stopped and robbed of his gold, mobile phone and Rs 3,000.
