Women PSIs speak

Due to Jusab’s modus operandi of attacking police, the ATS team decided to nab him early in the morning. There was possibility of gun fight as Jusab is known to keep weapon with him. Therefore ATS team was well equipped. ATS team decided to nab him early in the morning when Jusab would be in sleeping position. Instead of dark, a dow time was chosen so that in case of gun fight, any innocent person may not suffer injury.
