Greater Noida’s tranquility shattered when four hoodlums on motorcycles stormed a home in Salem Pur and riddled it with bullets during peak hours. The Kasna jurisdiction witnessed this nerve-wracking event, fueling fears of rising lawlessness in the vicinity.
Dial 112 buzzed with distress calls, mobilizing Kasna police to the village. The gunmen had melted away by arrival, but evidence abounded: ejected cartridges and trembling eyewitnesses. ADCP Sudhir Kumar briefed that the plot involved a local youth enlisting friends for vengeance.
In a stroke of fortune, bullets spared lives, though property damage and trauma linger. Crucial CCTV footage depicts the assailants’ coordinated assault—pulling up, shooting indiscriminately, then fleeing. This visual record propels the pursuit, with an FIR formalizing charges.
The grudge trace leads to family ties gone sour. The lead perpetrator, sister’s husband to a villager, clashed verbally with the victim’s relative recently. What began as words exploded into gunfire, exposing deep-seated animosities. Police are deploying all resources, from sketches to informant networks.
As the sun set on the rattled hamlet, officers intensified combing operations. This incident serves as a stark reminder of how personal vendettas can endanger innocents. Greater Noida authorities pledge zero tolerance, enhancing night watches and community outreach to rebuild trust and clamp down on illicit weapons.
