Nuh Police Kill Notorious Criminal in Gunfight

Nuh police have killed Shahid alias Advani, a wanted interstate criminal with approximately 50 registered cases across Haryana and Rajasthan, in an encounter near Sohna. The alleged cow smuggler and ATM theft accused was traveling in an SUV with two accomplices when police intercepted them. An exchange of fire ensued, resulting in Advani sustaining fatal gunshot injuries.

Advani, described as a history-sheeter and proclaimed offender, was wanted for crimes including cow smuggling, theft, robbery, attempted murder, and attacks on police personnel. He had previously escaped from police custody twice, in 2016 and 2018. His alleged involvement in organized crime extended to ATM thefts, where stolen vehicles were used to extract machines.

During the recent encounter, police recovered an illegal firearm, ammunition, and two cattle from the vehicle. Advani's two associates fled the scene and are currently being sought by authorities. A judicial magistrate probe has reportedly been initiated into the incident.
