The Story in Brief
Rohit alias Katiya, the key accused in the August 6 Charkhi Dadri firing that left seven injured, was arrested after a police encounter on the Baund-Kalanour road. The Hindustan Times reports that Rohit opened fire on a joint team of the special task force and Charkhi Dadri police when intercepted. Police retaliated, injuring him in the right leg. An illegal pistol was recovered. Rohit has a criminal history with six cases, including murder and attempt to murder. Two other accused, Preet Singh and Yudhvinder Singh, have also been arrested.
The Indian Opinion
Every police encounter invites suspicion of extrajudicial action, but here the accused fired first and has six previous cases including murder. The narrative that encounters are always staged ignores the reality that armed criminals often choose violence. The real test is whether the investigation traces the network behind the August 6 firing that injured seven people. Will the police produce evidence that holds up in court?
