Mathura Police Seize Illegal Firearms After Counter‑Fire

Following a violent episode linked to a land dispute in Bajna village, Mathura police executed a precision raid on October 16. The team, guided by a tip‑off, surrounded the two wanted individuals as they attempted to flee on a rough road. The suspects opened fire, prompting a defensive response from law enforcement. In the ensuing gunfire, one of the assailants, Kanak Singh, suffered a leg wound and was rushed to the district hospital. Both men were arrested, and officers recovered two .315 bore rifles and four cartridges that had no legal registration. The seized weapons and ammunition will be presented as evidence in the ongoing case, which is already filed under several serious IPC provisions.
