Ballia, 16 Oct (HS): Two offenders, including a

murder suspect, were apprehended following separate encounters in the Bairia

and Sikandarpur neighborhoods of this city early Thursday, according to police.

According to Superintendent of Police Omveer Singh, the initial confrontation

occurred about 1 a.m. in Bairia. A police squad directed a motorbike to halt at

the Chanddiar Jayprakash Nagar embankment road in Risal Rai, but the rider

raced away, resulting in a pursuit. When surrounded, he opened fire on the

police, who replied in self-defense, hurting the accused in the right leg,

according to Singh. The wounded rider, Dharmendra Yadav (28) of Sonbarsa

village, was taken into custody and brought to the district hospital after

receiving first care at the Sonbarsa community health facility, according to

the SP. He said that cops found a

country-made revolver and ammo on him. Yadav was wanted in a murder case filed on October 14 under

numerous provisions of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, and he was apparently

attempting to flee to Bihar, the SP stated.

In another instance, at 4.30 a.m.,

Sikandarpur Police stopped another motorbike along the Khareed River Road.

The motorcyclist attempted to run

but slid, and when cornered, shot at the cops.

He was wounded in the right leg in retaliation, they added. The accused, Shamim Qureshi alias Sonu

(23) of Bharatpur village, is charged with various crimes, according to

authorities. Police claimed

they also discovered a country-made weapon and ammunition from him. According to authorities, both of the

injured suspects are receiving medical care while in police custody.
