The Gautam Budh Nagar Police arrested three criminals, involved in the murder of two liquor shop sales collection agents, after a brief encounter in the Bisrakh area of Greater Noida on Monday. Two criminals and a police officer were also injured during the encounter, while one miscreant managed to flee from the spot.
On September 20, the criminals had killed two men and looted Rs 4 lakh from them.
According to the police, they received information regarding some miscreants heading towards a nearby village to execute a theft near Ecotech III, around 1 pm. After receiving the information, Sector Ecotech III police station in-charge KK Rana and his team started chasing the robbers, who were speeding towards Bisrakh.
"The miscreants were travelling in a car. We started chasing them but somehow they managed to flee from the spot towards Bisrakh. The police then alerted the Bisrakh police about the criminals," Love Kumar, Senior Superintendent of Police, Gautam Budh Nagar, said.
Later, the Bisrakh police intercepted them at the Balak Inter College and signalled them to stop. After being surrounded, the miscreants opened fire at the police party, which retaliated.
"The brief encounter and chase lasted two hours. The police managed to nab two of the four criminals, who have been identified as Manoj and Rajkumar. During the crossfire, a police constable, too, received bullet injuries. Police then tried chasing the other two and managed to arrest one more, identified as Kapil. One miscreant managed to flee, leaving behind the car," Kumar added.
At least 30 rounds were fired from both sides during the encounter.
According to police, the injured persons were rushed to the district hospital in Noida. Police Constable Balvender Kumar, who received bullet injuries on his shoulder, is undergoing treatment at the hospital.
