A wanted criminal and his friend made cops chase them around on terraces in Jogeshwari for 2 hours. While the friend who was helping him was finally caught, the criminal escaped


Asif Altaf Shaikh (22) alias Ninety, who is wanted by the Meghwadi police in two cases, was sitting on the terrace of a house in Bandra Plot in Jogeshwari (East) with his friend Mazhar Shaikh (20)


Acting on a tip-off, the police reached the spot around 11 am


Seeing the police, Mazhar ran down while Asif started jumping from one terrace to the other


Asif kept throwing bricks at the policemen from above and Mazhar aided him by giving directions and even throwing a bottle of water


Mazhar was finally arrested around 1 pm


Asif tried to grab a policeman's gun but made a run for it when he failed. The assistant inspector fired three rounds, but missed. TEXT/SAYED ROSHAN Illustration/ jishu DEV MALAKAR
