The Story in Brief
The Raebareli Police in Uttar Pradesh have arrested five members of an inter-district gang after an encounter. Two suspects suffered bullet injuries to their legs in what police called retaliatory firing, while three others were captured when they were surrounded. The gang is accused of burgling five jewellery shops at Takiya Chauraha on the night of August 3 and 4.
Police recovered 12.4 kg of silver jewellery, illegal firearms and the car used in the crimes. The arrests came after an investigation into the burglaries, which took place within the Mil Area police station limits.
The Indian Opinion
The police deserve credit for swiftly tracking down a gang that hit multiple shops. But every 'encounter' raises questions about procedure. Was the firing genuinely defensive? With two injured, only a transparent investigation and video evidence will confirm whether standard operating procedures were followed. Citizens want results, but not at the cost of due process.
