Police encounters in Uttar Pradesh

Overview

In mid-October, Noida police arrested a suspect identified as Shivam, also known as Shubham Rajput, following a shootout in Sector 63. Officials reported that the individual allegedly opened fire on officers after failing to stop at a checkpoint, leading to retaliatory fire that struck him in the leg. The suspect, who is reportedly implicated in approximately 16 criminal cases, was taken into custody with a stolen motorcycle and a pistol.

By early November, a similar encounter occurred in Greater Noida involving an alleged inter-district goat thief identified as Kamlu, also known as Kamal. According to police, two individuals on a motorcycle opened fire at officers, prompting a self-defence response that injured one suspect while the other escaped. The arrested individual, a resident of Sambhal district, reportedly has 13 criminal cases registered against him.
