Two thrilling police standoffs in Uttar Pradesh’s Bulandshahr and Kanpur ended with four criminals in custody following heavy gunfire. These high-stakes operations showcase the determination of law enforcers to rid streets of armed thugs with reward-tagged profiles.
Bulandshahr’s Aligarh Chowk set the stage for the first clash. Anupshahr officers checking vehicles eyed three dubious bikers who gunned the throttle instead of halting. The pursuit climaxed on Karnavas Road with a crash. Surrounded, the outlaws fired wildly; police fired back, hitting two. The arrested—Honey Verma, Anuj Verma (Muradabad), Arvind Nishad (Gorakhpur)—faced Anupshahr charges, fresh off extorting Rs 1 lakh.
Trophies included contraband pistols and bike, with Rs 25,000 rewards each. A timely takedown averts more havoc.
In Kanpur’s Rawatpur, gunfire echoed as Niyaz Ahmad ‘Chhutkan’ from Gonda fell leg-shot. Two fled the scene. He confessed to the Keshavpuram chain snatch from a senior citizen on January 8, yielding a gun, rounds, and cash.
Ongoing investigations promise wider impacts. These victories affirm UP’s aggressive policing, transforming fear into faith among communities. Criminal elements beware—the long arm of the law strikes decisively.
