A Delhi Police constable was shot at and hacked to death by assailants while trying to foil a robbery in outer Delhi's Shahbad Dairy area on Friday night.
The incident occurred at around 9 p.m. when Anand, the constable, who was posted at Bawana Industrial area, spotted snatchers near Samosa Chowk who were in a scuffle with a couple.
