Mathura police apprehend two kidnapping suspects after shootout

Two suspects, identified as 23-year-old Rajat and 22-year-old Manish, were apprehended following a police encounter in the Magorra police station area of Mathura, Uttar Pradesh. The incident occurred after the duo allegedly kidnapped a young man in an SUV and demanded a ransom from his father.

During a pursuit, the suspects reportedly broke through a police barricade and attempted to flee toward Sonkh Road. After their vehicle became stuck on a canal track near the Lalpur Canal Bridge, the suspects opened fire on the police. In retaliatory firing, both men sustained bullet wounds to their legs.

Authorities recovered two illegal pistols, live cartridges, and the vehicle used in the kidnapping. The suspects were taken to a district hospital for treatment, and a case has been registered at the Magorra police station.
