Corroboration: 2 independent outlets

Noida Police and the district Crime Response Team (CRT) jointly shot dead wanted gangster Aman alias Maya Tyagi, who carried a Rs 50,000 bounty, in an exchange of fire in Sector 126 on Saturday, 31 October. Tyagi was hit multiple times and died in hospital. He was wanted from Greater Noida’s Badalpur police station and linked to the Randeep Bhati and Anil Dujana gangs. Three police personnel were also struck by bullets during the encounter, TV9 Hindi reports, and have been hospitalised. Aajtak.in’s account does not mention any police injuries. Police are investigating the incident and examining weapons and evidence recovered from the scene.

## Indian Opinion Analysis

Aajtak.in reports only the gangster’s death and his criminal links, omitting police casualties entirely. TV9 Hindi adds that three police personnel were injured and hospitalised, a detail that shifts the framing from a clean ‘encounter’ to a more balanced account of an exchange of fire with costs on both sides. The difference means the full casualty picture is available only by combining the two reports, neither source alone gives the complete tally. Both outlets agree the operation was a joint effort by Noida Police and the CRT. The next concrete point is the awaited detailed information on the injured officers’ condition.
