The accused in the Umesh Pal murder case was named Vijay Kumar, who also went by the alias of Usman Chowdhary. Vijay was shot dead by the Prayagraj police on Monday, March 6, after a gunfight encounter by the crime branch of Uttar Pradesh police.
It is believed that Vijay Kumar was the first person who fired a shot at Umesh Pal during his murder. Vijay was seen in the CCTV footage of the Umesh Pal murder incident carrying a gun and a plastic bag, which reportedly contained bombs that were thrown at Pal’s car.
Vijay was the first person to fire a shot during the murder conspiracy and was clearly caught on camera. Vijay Kumar was believed to be a member of the Atiq Ahmed gang and was also known as Usman Chowdhary by his gang members in an effort to confuse the police.

Senior police officers from the Uttar Pradesh crime branch began combing the Kaundhiyara area of Prayagraj during the early hours of March 6 and eventually spotted Usman. They asked the murder accused to surrender, after which he began firing at them.
This led to a gunfight between the police and Vijay aka Usman, after which he sustained injuries and was taken to the hospital. He later succumbed to his injuries, being the second accused to be killed during the encounter by the Prayagraj police.
