The suspect, identified as Hemanth, fled into the Atmakur forest area after using a chainsaw to attack a 15-year-old girl and her classmate at a Raptadu school. Nearly 25 special teams were deployed across the region until two units successfully tracked him down on Sunday evening. When confronted, Hemanth threw stones and injured a circle inspector with a knife, prompting officers to fire six rounds to immobilise him. He was transported under heavy security to the Anantapur Government General Hospital, where he underwent emergency surgery for critical gunshot wounds below the waist.
