Head constable Daljit Singh, who was in plain clothes, intercepted the duo on a motorcycle near Bristol Chowk on Friday night following a tip-off. As he quizzed them, the two tried to flee.
Singh managed to catch one of them, but the other opened fire, narrowly missing the policeman. The criminal then pointed the gun at Singh and freed his accomplice, with the duo escaping on their bike, they said.
