The Story in Brief
A rape-murder accused carrying a Rs 50,000 reward was killed in a police encounter in Bulandshahr district late on August 8 night. The Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) confirmed the incident occurred in the Gulaothi police station area. A police team intercepted two motorcycle-borne suspects during a routine checking drive, leading to an exchange of fire. The accused died on the spot, while two policemen sustained injuries and are receiving treatment. Police recovered a pistol and cartridge from the site.
The Indian Opinion
The encounter is being celebrated as a swift police response, but questions linger. Some call it a triumph against crime; others see a familiar pattern of extra-judicial action. The Bulandshahr police operation leaves two of its own injured, a reminder of the risks. Justice demands due process, not just a bullet. The real measure will be whether the case against remaining accused withstands judicial scrutiny, or if this encounter joins the list of those questioned by courts.
