Rape Accused Irfan's Encounter
Meanwhile, in Bulandshahr, a police shootout occurred involving Irfan, an accused in a minor rape case. The Jahangirabad police had arrested Irfan and taken him to a forested area to recover the knife used in the crime. During this process, the accused attempted to flee after opening fire on the police team. In self-defense, the police fired back, resulting in a gunshot wound to the suspect's leg.

Police successfully recovered the illegal pistol, ammunition, and the knife used in the crime. The injured suspect is currently hospitalized and will be presented before the court following his treatment.
Encounter with Firoz in Bahraich

Police received intelligence that one of the absconding suspects, carrying a 50,000 rupee bounty and over 50 criminal cases, was hiding near Ekla Pur. When confronted, Firoz fired upon the police team. In the ensuing exchange, Firoz was shot in the leg. One of his associates remains at large. The injured suspect has been admitted to the Bahraich Medical College. These individuals were primarily involved in serial theft cases.
