Wanted criminal gunned down in UP's Hapur district
Begusarai: A wanted criminal, carrying a reward of Rs 50,000 on his head and involved in more than two dozen cases of crime including murder, robbery and extortion, was gunned down in an encounter with police in Hapur district of Uttar Pradesh on Sunday night. Dablu Yadav was active in Sahebpurkamal area of Begusarai district. Begusarai SP Manish said Ydav was killed during a joint operation of Bihar and UP police. "A joint team of special operations group of Bihar and Uttar Pradesh STF surrounded him near Baddha bridge in Hapur. First, he was asked to surrender. However, he started firing at the police team, but he was killed in a retaliatory firing," the SP said, adding a carbine, two pistols, a country-made pistol and 32 rounds of live cartridges were recovered from near his body. Dablu had been on the local police's radar following the abduction and murder of HAM's Sahebpurkamal block president, Rakesh Kumar. On May 24, Dablu along with more than 12 of his associates abducted Rakesh from his house at Sandalpur village amid cover of firing, killed him and later buried his body under the soil of the Ganga in the neighbouring Munger district. Local police had been on a lookout for him and even declared him an absconder on July 18. They earlier had arrested Dablu's wife Sita Devi, a sarpanch and even attached his property at Sandalpur village.

Body of abducted HAM(S) neta found
Begusarai: Five days after armed criminals abducted Rakesh Kumar , the HAM(S) party's block president from Sahebpur Kamal in Begusarai, his decomposed body was recovered on Thursday from a field in the Sita Charan Diara area under Munger district. Rakesh's brother, Vivek Kumar, said locals informed Munger Mufassil police station on Thursday morning about a body partially buried in a field. "The body was in a decomposed state. However, upon reaching the spot, we identified it as my brother's," he said. According to Vivek, Rakesh had last been seen on Saturday evening when he was abducted at gunpoint from their home in Sandalpur village by Dablu Yadav and his associates. Dablu Yadav, reportedly operating a criminal gang in the area, has been absconding since the incident. "We had been living in agony about his safety after the abduction, and to our worst fear, we found out today that his body had been discovered," Vivek added. Several police teams from Begusarai had been conducting raids to recover Rakesh and arrest Dablu. The administration had announced a Rs 25,000 reward for any information leading to his recovery. Although Dablu remains at large, police have arrested his wife, Sita Devi, who is also the sarpanch of Sandalpur panchayat, and his mother, Rina Devi. On Wednesday, police obtained court permission to attach Dablu Yadav's property. A reward of Rs 10,000 has also been announced for information leading to the arrest of nine other named accused in the case.
