Suspect arrested after encounter in Mainpuri vehicle robbery case

In a separate incident, police in Uttar Pradesh's Mainpuri arrested a man accused of involvement in a vehicle robbery following an encounter on Ghiror Road, within the jurisdiction of the Kurawali police station.

The accused, identified as Abhimanyu, also known as Raja or Honey, sustained a bullet injury to his leg during retaliatory firing. He was subsequently arrested and taken to a hospital for treatment. His alleged accomplices, Chhotu and Dhruv, escaped and remain at large.

According to police, the accused and his associates had hired a four-wheeler from Auraiya district.

Following an investigation and search operation, police received information about the suspects and deployed a team on Ghiror Road. The operation led to an encounter in which Abhimanyu was injured, while the other two suspects managed to flee.

Police are continuing efforts to trace and arrest the absconding accused.
