Sixteen Cases Linked to Suspect Detained in Noida Police Operation

A coordinated police operation in Noida’s Sector‑63 resulted in the arrest of a notorious criminal with a substantial legal backlog. While checking vehicles near Gadhi Gol Chakkar, officers spotted a bike without registration plates. The rider fled, leading to a pursuit that ended when the bike slid and the suspect fell. The offender opened fire, prompting a retaliatory volley from the police that wounded him. He was taken into custody and subsequently admitted to a hospital for treatment. The arrested party, 28‑year‑old Shivam Rajput of the ashram locality, was found in possession of a stolen motorcycle, an illegal .315 bore gun and ammunition. A review of his record revealed sixteen pending criminal cases across the National Capital Region.
