In a shocking incident, a gun-armed man took as many as 70 students in a Bengal school room hostage, with the entire incident caught on cam. What followed was a brave cop’s use of wit and strength to subdue the attacker and apprehend him. The incident took place earlier on Wednesday, and occurred in Muchiya Chandramohan High School in West Bengal’s Malda.

Chaos erupted when a gun-wielding man stormed into a classroom filled with students, threatening to kill them and their teacher. As fear gripped the teachers and students, the school administration quickly contacted the police, who arrived at the scene led by Superintendent of Police Pradeep Kumar Yadav.

However, the situation was far from over, as the man, identified as Dev Ballav, threatened to shoot anyone in a police uniform who approached him. With tension mounting and the clock ticking, Deputy Superintendent of Police Azharuddin Khan came up with a daring plan to save the children.

Azharuddin shed his police uniform and borrowed clothes from a civilian on the premises. Disguised as a reporter, he entered the classroom and began asking Ballav questions, all while recording the conversation on his mobile phone. The brave cop managed to keep Ballav talking, eventually overpowering him with the help of another sub-inspector and pinning him to the ground.
