Fagge who did not give the exact figure of the number of his
men that lost their lives in the violence, said he could not comment on
the incident as he was still mourning his men.
Vanguard’s checks, however, revealed that the drug dealers
had got the hint of their impending arrest by the operatives and laid ambush
for the officers.
