Greater Noida’s law enforcement struck a major blow against organized crime in Rabupura late Friday, foiling a suspected cow smuggling operation through a bold midnight showdown. Two assailants were wounded in the crossfire, and three surrendered amid the chaos.
A vigilant police team on routine checks eyed an erratically driven auto near Ronija Kat. The pursuit ignited when shots rang out from the vehicle. Retaliatory fire felled Syed Amin, 35, Delhi resident, and 32-year-old Goramiya from Nuh, both armed with country-made pistols and cartridges.
Swift arrests followed for Munsar Kamaal, 24, Bilal, 23, from Nuh, and Pushpendra Kumar, 24, from Delhi’s Madanpur Khadar. The auto yielded damning evidence: tools for cow butchery including blades, sedative syringes, saws, rods, and disposal sacks.
Invoking the Uttar Pradesh Prevention of Cow Slaughter Act of 1955, police registered the case—the very probe these men were evading. Medical aid was provided to the injured as background checks reveal patterns of recidivism.
This raid not only disrupts immediate threats but signals a crackdown on inter-state smuggling rings. Officials vow deeper investigations to dismantle the syndicate, reassuring farmers and upholding state laws.
