A significant police operation in Noida resulted in the death of a wanted criminal carrying a reward of Rs 50,000 and left two police personnel with injuries following an exchange of gunfire on Saturday night. The incident occurred during a routine check of suspicious individuals and vehicles.
Information was available with The Chenab Times that a joint team from the Crime Response Team and the Sector 126 police station was engaged in checking activities when they attempted to stop a motorcyclist. The individual, identified as Aman Tyagi, a resident of Muzaffarnagar district, allegedly opened fire on the police team with the intent to cause harm. In a act of self-defence, the police returned fire.
During the ensuing exchange of gunfire, both the suspect and two police officers sustained gunshot wounds. They were immediately transported to a local hospital for medical attention. Doctors subsequently declared Aman Tyagi dead during treatment. The injured police personnel are currently receiving medical care, according to Deputy Commissioner of Police Preeti Yadav.
Authorities recovered an illegal pistol, spent cartridges, and the motorcycle from the encounter site. The scene was subsequently inspected by the field unit and a forensic team to gather further evidence. Investigations revealed that Aman Tyagi had over 20 criminal cases registered against him across various districts. These cases included serious charges such as murder, robbery, extortion, and offences under the stringent Gangsters Act.
Tyagi was also a wanted individual in several other cases, encompassing charges of attempt to murder, criminal intimidation, and wrongful restraint. The successful culmination of this operation marks a significant step in the ongoing efforts by Noida Police to curb criminal activities and apprehend individuals involved in violent and organized crime within the region.
The incident highlights the persistent challenges faced by law enforcement agencies in maintaining public safety and combating escalating crime rates. The injured police personnel, whose identities have not been released, are being treated, and their condition is reportedly stable. The recovery of the illegal firearm and other evidence is crucial for ongoing investigations and potential connections to other criminal networks.
Further details regarding the sequence of events leading up to the encounter and Tyagi’s criminal history are expected to be released by the police department as the investigation progresses.
