Overview

  • Constable Saurabh Kumar was fatally shot during a late-night Noida police raid in Nahal village while officers attempted to arrest suspect Qadir.
  • Police have arrested 14 individuals in connection with the attack and deny claims of indiscriminate firing or property damage.
  • More than 400 families have fled their homes, leaving around 70–80% of the village deserted due to fear of further police action.
  • Residents and Rashtriya Lok Dal leaders have accused police of conducting midnight detentions and damaging property during the raids.
  • RLD leaders have demanded a dedicated police squad to focus on confirmed suspects, urging officers to refrain from harassing innocent villagers as coordination disputes between Noida and Ghaziabad forces persist.
