A group of drug peddlers, allegedly of foreign origin, hurled stones at a police party injuring seven policemen during a raid at Wadi Bunder area in South Mumbai, prompting them to fire three rounds in the air.

According to the police, a raid was conducted at Wadi Bunder around 11.30 pm, following which the group of drug peddlers started fleeing away from the spot taking advantage of darkness.

"The area was dimly lit and there was complete darkness along the railway tracks. After the raid, the group members started running from the spot and during the chase they even attacked police with stones, which they picked up from the nearby railway tracks," Joint Commissioner of Police (Crime) Atul Kulkarni said.
