The Uttar Pradesh police have arrested four robbers, including Abhishek alias ‘Tiger’, the kingpin of an inter-district gang. They were arrested after a joint encounter by the officials of Ekdil police station and Crime Branch in Etawah district of Uttar Pradesh. Abhishek was injured and has been hospitalized for treatment. Three of his accomplices tried to flee the spot, but the police team chased them for a kilometre and made the arrest. A reward has been announced for the officials, who arrested these criminals.
Etawah SP (City) Prashant Kumar Prasad said that the Crime Branch and Ekdil police were jointly engaged in checking suspicious vehicles and people on the Gwalior by-pass under the limits of the Ekdil police station area. Meanwhile, the police got the information from an informer that Abhishek, along with three other gang members, was passing through this route.
“Based on this information, the police laid siege. An attempt was made to stop four men who were passing on the motorcycle, but instead of stopping, they started firing on the police team. The team of Crime Branch and Ekdil Police also opened fire in self-defence. Abhishek was injured while his accomplices tried to run away. However, they, too, were caught and arrested,” he said.
