Firozabad, November 15 (Daily Kiran) : A police encounter in Firozabad on Saturday night culminated in the arrest of Mohit Yadav, a suspect involved in robbery and theft. The Rasoolpur police were conducting a routine check when they apprehended Yadav. During the encounter, shots were exchanged, resulting in Yadav sustaining a gunshot wound to his leg. He was promptly transported to a trauma center, where he is currently receiving medical care under police supervision.
Authorities recovered an illegal firearm, cartridges, and ₹6,600 in cash from Yadav. SP City Ravishankar Prasad detailed that two incidents of theft had occurred in the Rasoolpur and Basai Mohammadpur police jurisdictions on November 7 and 8. In these cases, armed robbers had targeted a couple and a lawyer. Following the incidents, police registered cases and began searching for the suspects.
Investigators reviewed CCTV footage and gathered evidence, identifying two suspects: Vikas and Mohit, both residents of the southern police district. Vikas was arrested earlier, while Mohit remained at large until last night when police received a tip-off about his movements towards Moti Nagar from Modha.
Upon spotting him, police attempted to stop Mohit, but he opened fire. In the ensuing exchange, he was shot in the leg and fell to the ground. Police swiftly took him into custody and transported him to the trauma center for treatment. The recovered cash, firearm, and cartridges reinforce the police’s ongoing efforts to combat crime in the area. Following his recovery, Mohit will be presented in court as authorities continue necessary legal proceedings.
