Sonu Matka, a well-known criminal connected to the dangerous Hashim Baba Gang, was shot and killed by the police during an operation in Meerut on Friday. Matka, who was wanted for a double murder case in Delhi and had a reward of ₹50,000 for his capture, had been hiding from the authorities for several months.
The police operation involved special teams from both the Special Task Force (STF) and the Delhi Police Special Cell. They exchanged gunfire with Matka, who was injured and later died in the hospital.
Matka had a long list of serious crimes against him, including robberies and murders in Delhi and Uttar Pradesh. He was a shooter for the Hashim Baba Gang and had been involved in around six criminal cases.
On September 24, police questioned gangster Hashim Baba about the murder of a gym owner named Nadir Shah. Hashim Baba was taken from Tihar Jail for questioning and is thought to have planned this murder even while in prison. Despite a crackdown on gangsters using phones from jail, they continued to plot crimes.
Hashim Baba, known for his connections to another gangster named Lawrence Bishnoi, is also being investigated for a threatening video call to a wealthy businessman in Delhi. The police have used tough laws against Hashim Baba and eight other gang members due to their ongoing criminal activities. Hashim Baba has been in Tihar Jail since 2020, facing multiple charges, including conspiracy to commit murder, extortion, and weapons violations.
