UP STF Reaches 50 Encounter Deaths with Killing of Robbery Suspect

Anuj Pratap Singh, wanted in a high-profile bullion robbery, was shot dead in an exchange of fire in Unnao.

Anuj Pratap Singh, involved in a ₹1.5 crore jewellery robbery, was killed by the Uttar Pradesh Special Task Force (STF) in Unnao.
Singh's death marks the 50th encounter killing by the STF since the Yogi Adityanath government took office 7.5 years ago.
The STF recovered silver jewellery, weapons, and a motorcycle from the scene; Singh's accomplice managed to escape.
Political leaders, including Akhilesh Yadav, have criticized the encounter, suggesting it may be part of a larger political strategy.
The robbery gang, consisting of five members, has seen two key figures killed in STF encounters, with several suspects still at large.
