Suspect took victim to police station!
According to police, the barbaric act of the man being dragged through the streets of Barola village, within the limits of Sector 49 police station, took place on Saturday evening.
A senior official said the victim was taken to the police station by the two suspects with serious injuries and later rushed to a hospital where he succumbed.
“The victim, Mehndi Hassan, was taken to the police station in an injured condition around midnight by two young men. He was rushed to a hospital where he died during treatment,” Additional DCP Noida Manish Kumar Mishra told news agency PTI.
Old rivalry
Mishra said the suspects are brothers and were involved in an old rivalry with the deceased victim.
“The duo who took the injured man to the police station were identified as Anuj and Nitin. Anuj told police that Mehndi Hassan had stabbed his father in 2018 in an attempt to kill him. A case has also been filed in this regard,” Mishra said.
Anuj further told police that since that episode, Hassan would taunt him and make comments about him that often infuriated him, the officer said.
“Frustrated with the situation, he attacked Hassan with a knife on Saturday with the help of his brother Nitin,” Mishra said. Both suspects were immediately arrested by the police.
Arrested after police encounter
The duo was arrested but when they allegedly attempted to escape from police custody, an encounter broke out in which they both suffered gunshot wounds, he said.
Mishra said the suspect took the police to the spot where they had hidden the murder weapon. However, they attacked the police and tried to flee, leading to an encounter in which both brothers suffered bullet injuries.
“During the recovery of the weapon used in the crime, the suspect led police to a culvert in Barola around 5am on Sunday. Anuj and Nitin attacked the police group accompanying them. In retaliation, the police team opened fire, resulting in injuries to both suspects,” Mishra said.
Both suspects were then taken to a hospital for treatment, he added.
Besides the murder case for killing Hassan, the suspects have also been booked under IPC section 307 (for attempt to murder) and 224 (resisting lawful arrest), in a separate FIR filed after the encounter with the police , officials said.
