Greater Noida’s law enforcement scored a major victory Sunday night in Rabupura through a bold encounter that left one criminal injured and another in custody. The clash highlights ongoing efforts to curb illegal arms and cow slaughter rackets.
Triggered by reports of shady dealings near Karouli underpass dated February 22, 2026, police mounted aggressive searches. Attempting to intercept two riders on a bike, officers faced resistance as the men fled and shot back aggressively.
In the ensuing firefight, Salman, resident of Kareena’s Arapuri in Shamli, took a bullet. Aslam from Bulandshahr’s Rohinda village was swiftly apprehended post-siege.
The casualty received urgent hospital care. Recovered items painted a grim picture: two unlicensed .315 tamanchas, ammo in live and used form, a numberless stolen motorcycle, and slaughter gear—ropes, blades, syringe, injection bottle, empty bags.
Both fugitives boasted extensive records, including Rabupura FIRs and anti-cow slaughter warrants. Investigations into additional crimes persist amid ramped-up security measures. Authorities assure the public of sustained operations against such threats.
