Alleged cow smuggler killed, another injured in shootout with Rajasthan police
While Hasam alias Kada was injured, his son Ishaq alias Asif died from his injuries during the shootout with police.
Deeg Superintendent of Police Rajesh Kumar Meena told The Indian Express that the incident took place around 12-1 pm. He said that the police received a tip off about Hasam and his son – both native of Kanwari village in Deeg — and Qasam and Saddam of Ghatmika, all of whom are wanted by the police. He said that there was information about a truck too – allegedly transporting cattle illegally – though it was not found.
The SP said that all four are history-sheeters and 'three of them – Hasam, Qasam and Saddam – had a reward on their head and all of them have at least 15 police cases against them, including for cattle smuggling, Arms Act, etc.' Hasam, who had a reward of Rs 45,000 on his head, also has a murder case against him.
Meena said that when police traced them, all four, who were on two motorcycles, started firing at the police. In the shootout that took place at Pahari police station limits, while Hasam and his son Ishaq were injured, the other two managed to escape towards Haryana.
'The two injured were taken to Pahari and then to Bharatpur where one was declared dead,' the SP said. 'Two-three' police personnel also sustained bullets on their bulletproof jackets, while the police vehicle was also hit by bullets, he said, adding that the police was prepared since the smugglers are notorious and known for firing at police.
The police also recovered two weapons and ammunition from the spot and the Forensic Science Laboratory (FSL) is also investigating the case, he said.

Husband gets justice: Akhilesh sacks MLA for praising Yogi Adityanath
Lucknow: Samajwadi Party (SP) MLA Pooja Pal was expelled from the party on Thursday, hours after she thanked Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath for 'delivering justice' in her husband's mur-der case and praised him for bringing in policies with zero tolerance against criminals. SP chief Akhilesh Yadav said Ms Pooja, whose husband Raju Pal was shot dead by gangster Atiq Ah-med in 2005, was 'immediately expelled' from the party due to her engagement in 'anti-party activ-ities and serious indiscipline which continued despite prior warnings and caused significant harm to the party'. The expulsion created a political uproar with the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in the state ac-cusing the opposition of being 'anti-Dalit'. In his statement in Hindi, Yadav said: 'She (Ms Pooja) is no longer permitted to participate in any par-ty programs and will not be invited to them in the future.' The development came hours after Ms Pooja thanked the Chief Minister for 'listening to her when no one else did' over her husband's murder. Former Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) MLA Raju Pal was shot dead on January 25, 2005, days after he married Ms Pooja. The murder, police said, was a result of political rivalry with gangster Atiq Ahmed's brother Ashraf, whom Raju had defeated in the 2004 bypoll to the Prayagraj West seat. In February 2023, Umesh Pal, a key witness in the murder case, was shot dead in Prayagraj's Sulem Saray area. Days later, Atiq and Ashraf - both of whom were arrested - were shot dead by three men when they were being taken for a medical check-up in Prayagraj. Atiq was shot in the head from behind, nearly at point-blank range. Ashraf, too, was shot dead, as the murder was captured on camera. This came days after Atiq's son Asad was killed in an alleged encounter in Jhansi. All three men were later ar-rested.

Firing on Independence Day: Delhi cop's son shot four times, suspects on the run
A firing incident in the early hours of Independence Day left a 27-year-old man injured and triggered a search for the suspects. Police said the incident took place in the Naveen Shahdara area of Northeast Delhi. The victim, Akhil Panwar, is the son of a police officer currently posted in Delhi's Northeast district, police sources said. Panwar is also a habitual offender in the Shahdara area, sources added. Police said the shooting occurred around 1.07 am near the police residential quarters in Shahdara following a verbal altercation with two men.
