ASI Vikas Kumar, known as the station’s munshi, was gunned down in broad daylight while closing in on ATM fraud mastermind Pappu Sahni. The ambush happened Tuesday on Bela Road beside a temple, with Sahni and an accomplice on a motorcycle.

Kumar’s partner, an SI, witnessed the horror as a single shot pierced the officer’s stomach. Sahni’s celebratory aerial firing triggered mayhem among bystanders. Police swiftly cordoned the area, sparking a gun battle that left the fugitive injured and captured. Recovered pistol links him directly to multiple fraud cases.

Shocking revelations: Sahni is the son of Rashtriya Janata Dal’s Minaapur block head, Uma Shankar Sahni. Evading arrest for ATM scams, he led a sophisticated fraud operation. While Kumar fights for recovery in Bairia, Sahni receives treatment under custody at Sadar Hospital.

DIG Chandan Kushwaha detailed the operation: ‘We had intel on this cyber crook. He panicked and fired first.’ Top brass arrived to oversee the probe, vowing to uproot the syndicate. This case highlights vulnerabilities in policing fraud amid political influences, demanding stricter oversight.
