When the dacoits were told to surrender, they opened fire. Retaliatory firing slew Prakash, the younger brother of Ramesh Jatav. After Ramesh's death in an encounter, Prakash had formed his own gang,'' said Superintendent of Police Abhay Singh.

A .315-bore rifle, 18 live cartridges and a few spent ones were seized from the site. Prakash was active in Rajasthan's Karauli and Madhya Pradesh's Sheopur and Morena.
