New Delhi, April 14: In a significant police operation late Monday night in Uttar Pradesh’s Badaun, notorious criminal Abhay Pratap Singh, also known as Kallu, was apprehended. He was wanted with a bounty of ₹50,000. Authorities recovered a pistol, two country-made firearms, and ten cartridges from his possession.
Police officials reported that Singh was involved in the murder of DGM Sudhir Gupta and Deputy Manager Harshit Mishra at the HPCL plant. His arrest occurred in Firozabad district based on a tip-off from an informant.
The informant indicated that Singh was hiding in Firozabad. Acting on this information, the police successfully captured him. During interrogation, it was revealed that he had supplied weapons to Ajay Pratap Singh for executing the murders. Following this, police went to recover the firearms based on Singh’s directions.
