A pivotal moment in Kanpur’s fight against violent crime came when police captured a wanted murderer in a roadside showdown near Bidhnu. The suspect, Chhotu alias Nisar, injured in the leg during crossfire, is linked to the fatal assault on liquor salesman Uday Singh.
February 25 marked a dark day in Bhavani Pur as the country liquor outlet worker was thrashed to death, igniting community panic and a determined police response. Under ACP Ghatampur’s command, teams scoured leads relentlessly.
Routine checks on the Bidhnu-Sachendi path turned explosive when the biker suspect ignored stop signals and shot at the patrol. Police fired back effectively, subduing him and recovering a pistol along with the motorcycle.
With six pending cases of theft and dacoity, Nisar’s profile fits the profile of a dangerous repeat offender. DCP Dipendra Nath Chaudhary revealed: ‘His statements are guiding us to the rest of the gang; arrests are imminent.’
Hospitalized and secured, the accused endures intense interrogation as operations target his associates. This successful operation not only closes in on the killers but boosts public confidence in Kanpur police’s proactive stance, promising a safer tomorrow amid rising concerns over liquor trade violence.
