Encounter in Masaurhi: One Criminal Shot, Another Held

In the early hours of Wednesday, tension gripped Masaurhi police station limits when armed criminals preparing a jewellery shop heist were cornered by a specially formed police unit. Acting on precise information, officers moved swiftly under the supervision of senior city officials. The suspects responded with gunfire, forcing the police to return measured fire in self-defence. Ajay Paswan sustained a leg injury and was rushed to hospital under tight security. Meanwhile, Ajay Yadav was detained without resistance. Investigators discovered a pistol, a desi katta, ammunition, and shell casings from the accused. Both individuals are already named in multiple serious cases and were recently involved in looting a cash van in Gopalpur. The swift operation underlines the force’s commitment to curbing organised crime in the capital district.
