In Meerut, a sharpshooter from the Lawrence Bishnoi gang was shot and killed by special police forces on Wednesday morning. The man, named Jitu or Jitendra, was wanted by the police and had a ₹1 lakh bounty on him. He lived in Sivan village, Haryana.
The police surrounded Jitendra early in the morning after they exchanged gunfire. Amitabh Yash, a senior police officer, said that Jitendra was hit by police shots and fell to the ground. His friends managed to escape because it was dark. The police took him to a hospital, but he died while getting treatment.
Jitendra had a serious criminal history. He was sentenced to life in prison in 2016 for a double murder but got out on parole this year. After he was released, the police started looking for him because he was involved in another double murder case in Ghaziabad. They put a reward of ₹1 lakh for information leading to his capture. During his time in prison, he became a member of the Lawrence Bishnoi gang and worked for them.
According to police reports, Jitendra was linked to about eight serious crimes, including murder and robbery, in Haryana, Delhi, and Uttar Pradesh.
Last year, another gang member named Yogesh Kumar, also known as Raju, was arrested in Mathura after a police encounter. Raju was one of the shooters involved in the murder of a gym owner named Nadir Shah in Delhi.
