A police encounter in Greater Noida leads to one burglar injured and another arrested during a crackdown on home thefts.
Greater Noida, November 13 (Daily Kiran) : A police encounter took place in Greater Noida on November 13, resulting in one burglar sustaining injuries and another being arrested. The incident unfolded in the Dadri police station area, where officers were conducting checks for suspicious individuals and vehicles near RV Northland.
During this operation, two men on a motorcycle were spotted. When the police signaled them to stop, the riders attempted to flee towards a nearby cremation ground. As the police pursued them, the suspects opened fire, prompting the officers to return fire. One of the burglars was shot in the leg.
The injured suspect was identified as 29-year-old Sajid, also known as Tichakle or Satmola, a resident of Mohalla Mevatiyan in Dadri. His accomplice, 28-year-old Rizwan, known as Kale, was apprehended during a subsequent combing operation. Sajid was transported to a hospital for treatment.
During interrogation, the suspects disclosed that they had committed a burglary at a house in New Village Basantpur about a month ago. Just two days prior, they, along with two other accomplices, had targeted another vacant house in Surajpur Vihar Colony. The stolen jewelry from these incidents had been divided between them, and they were attempting to sell it when they encountered the police.
Authorities recovered a .315 bore illegal firearm, live and spent cartridges, a knife, a stolen motorcycle, and various pieces of jewelry from the suspects. The firearm and cartridges were found in Sajid’s possession, while the knife was recovered from Rizwan.
Sajid has a criminal history, with five cases registered against him at the Dadri police station for offenses including murder, robbery, and theft. Rizwan also has eight cases lodged against him across different police stations, including charges under the Arms Act and the NDPS Act, as well as two theft-related cases in 2026.
The police are continuing their investigation into the suspects and are working to identify any additional accomplices involved in these thefts. They are also attempting to ascertain whether the recovered jewelry is linked to other burglary incidents in the area.
