Ashok Kumar Kashyap and Adesh Thakur were arrested while four other accused including SP leader Mukesh Choudhray have been absconding, Superintendent of Police Vijay Prakash told reporters here.
The officer, Rinku Singh, was shot at by the accused and was seriously injured. It was alleged that Choudhary, who is the proprietor of several schools, was unhappy with Singh for ordering an inquiry into alleged corruption dealings in the department.
Police have started proceedings against those absconding and their properties will be seized. Choudhray has contested 2002 Assembly election from Baghra on an SP ticket.
