Muzaffarnagar Police Capture Wanted Criminal After Gunfight

The police operation in the New Mandi area of Muzaffarnagar resulted in the capture of a high‑profile criminal who had a Rs 25,000 bounty on his head. Identified as Shadab alias Kaleem, the suspect was also listed as a history‑shooter in the nearby Khatauli police records. After a brief chase on a motorcycle, the fugitive’s vehicle overturned on uneven terrain, prompting him to flee on foot while firing at officers. A leg wound from police gunfire forced him to collapse, and he was taken into custody. Authorities have seized a tamanche, a cartridge case and the unregistered motorcycle as evidence.
