In a recent operation, the Saharanpur police arrested a wanted suspect linked to cattle theft cases following a violent encounter. The arrest occurred late at night on February 10-11 near Bahupur Pulia on Ambala Road when police were conducting vehicle checks and signaled a suspicious motorcycle rider to stop. Instead of complying, the suspect opened fire on the police, prompting them to return fire, injuring the assailant in the process. The arrested individual, identified as Kausar, was found to be in possession of a country-made pistol, empty cartridges, live ammunition, and a sum of 1,850 rupees. His motorcycle was also seized by the authorities. Police reported that Kausar has a criminal history with over six cases registered against him, primarily related to cattle theft, highlighting the ongoing battle against such crimes in the region. The situation underscores the challenges faced by law enforcement in Uttar Pradesh in addressing cattle smuggling and protecting animal rights. The police's prompt response and decisive action in this incident reflect both the dangers they encounter in the line of duty and the broader implications for the local community, which is often affected by such criminal activities.
