Noida cop shot dead: With 24 cases, Qadir is an expert vehicle thief at 24
Ghaziabad: At an age when most young adults are pursuing college degrees, 24-year-old Qadir was perfecting the art of grand auto theft. His criminal portfolio — spanning six years across Delhi-NCR — has 24 cases, including vehicle thefts, arms violations, and those under the Gangster Act. Starting his criminal career at 19, Qadir's first heist was a black Scorpio from Delhi's Ghazipur in Jan 2019. What began with motorcycles — a Hero Passion Pro and a Karizma — soon escalated to four-wheelers as Qadir established his notoriety across Ghaziabad, Noida, and Muzaffarnagar. Ghaziabad, police said, was his favourite hunting ground with 12 FIRs, followed by Muzaffarnagar with seven, and Noida with five cases. Initially operating under childhood friends Shavez and Sameer from Masuri village, the trio were arrested first in 2019, when police recovered two four-wheelers and two motorcycles from them. The Gangster Act was invoked against them on April 23, 2019, with four criminal cases already under their belt. The gang dissolved in 2023, prompting Qadir to go solo. He shifted operations to Muzaffarnagar, forming a new alliance with local criminals Shahrukh and Abid. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Trade Bitcoin & Ethereum – No Wallet Needed! IC Markets Start Now Undo His modus operandi evolved — when full vehicle theft proved challenging, he targeted car batteries and other spare parts. "Sometimes, when unable to steal an entire vehicle, he would settle for batteries, tyres, and other parts too," revealed a senior police officer. On Sept 28 last year, authorities invoked the UP Gangsters and Anti-Social Activities (Prevention) Act, 1986, against Qadir and his new associates. Undeterred, he returned to Ghaziabad. In Noida Sector 73, Qadir broke into a Hyundai Verna, stealing its music system and engine control module on May 2 this year. The Sunday night raid in Nahal village was conducted in connection with the latest theft. "We're still investigating his criminal history across Delhi-NCR. So far, we know of only 24 cases against him," said DCP (rural) Surendra Nath Tiwari. Around 11pm on Sunday, UP Police constable Saurabh Kumar Deshwal and six other cops had gone to arrest Qadir in Nahal village when the gangster's accomplices shot him in the head. They pelted the police car with stones and fired at the cops as they put Qadir in the vehicle. One of the bullets hit Saurabh in the head.

Noida: Four persons, including a Nigerian national, have been arrested in connection with a cyber fraud case involving over Rs 16.7 crore from a private bank in Sector 62. During the investigation, police also found that one of the accused was involved in drug dealing and seized MDMA worth around Rs 20 lakh.

The accused have been identified as Umealakei Emeka alias Alex (53), a Nigerian national living in Beta 2; Mohd Shavez alias Sanu (26), from Wave City in Ghaziabad, Amit Gupta (26) and Deepak Gupta (39), both from Sangam Vihar, Delhi. A senior police official said that while the stolen money was sent to over 80 accounts, Alex was directly linked to six of them, which together held Rs 1.4 crore. He added that the money was being sent to Nigeria through hawala channels. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Upto 15% Discount for Salaried Individuals ICICI Pru Life Insurance Plan Get Quote Undo Sources told TOI that Alex has been staying in India illegally since 2014 after his visa expired. He is allegedly involved in both cyber fraud and drug distribution. According to police, the matter came to light in July last year when the bank's IT manager reported that someone had hacked into the system and used his login credentials to transfer money illegally. A total of 89 accounts were affected, and over Rs 16.7 crore was withdrawn. A case was registered under IPC sections 420 (cheating), 467, 468, and 471 (forgery), 120B (criminal conspiracy), and 201 (causing disappearance of evidence), as well as sections 66 and 66C of the IT Act. So far, ten people have been arrested, and around Rs 3 crore has been recovered, police said. DCP (Noida) Rambadan Singh said Alex and Shavez were linked to some of the suspicious transactions. "When we raided Alex's house, we found drugs and other evidence, including documents and bank materials," he said. Police seized 50g of MDMA tablets, valued at around Rs 20 lakh, along with Rs 50,000 in cash, cheque books, passbooks, photocopies of passports, mobile phones, and a car from Alex. DCP Singh said that the accused worked with several Indian associates who open bank accounts and help move money for a commission. Shavez is one such associate. Police are also investigating the role of 4–5 other Nigerian nationals who may be connected to the case. The investigation is ongoing.
