Illegal miners fire at cops, three held in Alwar [1]

JAIPUR/ALWAR: A group of about 100 illegal miners opened fire and pelted stones at a police team in Alwar's Nakhnol area on Friday in a sheer disregard for law and the law keepers.

The incident happened when a police team had swopped down on an area known as Loharon Ki Dhani after getting a tip-off about illegal mining there. The police were, however, not bogged down by their threat and managed to arrest three men, including an explosive expert, after giving them a chase for almost 15 km.
