The Facts of the Matter

An encounter on Thursday evening in Meerut, Uttar Pradesh, has reignited this debate on the importance of encounters, as notorious gangster Anil Dujana was killed in a dramatic gunfight with the Uttar Pradesh STF. Dujana had a long history of violent crimes, and his death has brought some relief to the people of western UP who had been living in fear of him for years.

Dujana was Threatening to Kill Murder Witness

Immediately after his release, Dujana started threatening one of the key witnesses in the murder case filed against him. The witness, terrified for his life, had informed the police, who immediately moved in to arrest the gangster. But Dujana was not one to go down without a fight.

He and his gang had been hiding in a village in Meerut, surrounded by tall bushes and an unpaved road. When the STF operatives approached, Dujana and his gang opened fire, leading to a fierce gunfight.

Account of High-Octane Encounter

There was a total of 21 rounds of firing from both sides in the encounter, with Dujana firing 15 rounds. The sound of gunfire echoed through the village, sending the residents running for cover. But the police were determined to take down the dreaded gangster, and they did not back down.

Dujana, reportedly, was driving in a Scorpio car, taking potshots at the police as he tried to make his escape. Eventually, he was gunned down by the STF personnel, and with that, came an end to the years of cyclical terror and horror Dujana was part of.

Dujana had Bounties on Head

According to reports, Dujana was released on bail in 2021, after being put in jail back in 2012. Soon, the court issued a non-bailable warrant, for his non-appearance in his older cases. Failing to show up, Dujana carried a bounty of Rs 25,000 on his head, as announced by Bulandshahr police, while Noida Police put a bounty of Rs 50,000 on his head.

Anil Dujana, born Anil Singh, had first come under the police radar in 2002 after he murdered a man in Sector-8, Noida, and stole Rs 5.5 lakh he was carrying. Since then, he had been involved in multiple cases of murder, extortion, and other crimes, becoming one of the most wanted criminals in the state.
