The record
Written from the 1 report below. Nothing here is unsourced.
- Bijnor police arrested three men for stealing two buffaloes from a neighbourhood in Afzalgarh on the night of September 16, after the owner filed a complaint.
- Two suspects were shot in the legs during an encounter after their pickup vehicle crashed into a tree while trying to flee a police check, and the third was caught after a chase.
- Police constable Mohit was also injured in the incident, and the injured suspects along with the constable were taken to Afzalgarh Community Health Centre for treatment.
- Police recovered the two stolen buffaloes, the pickup vehicle, two country-made pistols, four live 315-bore cartridges and two magazines from the suspects, who confessed to the theft during questioning.
- A separate case has been registered over the encounter and weapons, and one suspect, Sakib, already faces gangster act and cattle slaughter cases in Roorkee, so the arrests could add to earlier charges.
What to watch next
- Further police action in the theft and encounter cases registered at Afzalgarh police station
- Recovery of additional stolen animals or involvement of more suspects during questioning
- Medical condition of the two injured suspects and constable at Afzalgarh CHC
