Half Encounter of President's Bodyguard Attackers: How Encounters Are Changing UP | Capital TV

Uttar Pradesh Police arrested two wanted criminals, Dheeraj and Monu, following a late-night exchange of gunfire in the Budhpur forest located in Baghpat district. The suspects were actively sought by law enforcement for shooting Saurabh Tomar, a bodyguard of President Droupadi Murmu, in the head during a violent dispute over Diwali festivities. During the police operation, Dheeraj sustained a bullet injury to his leg in the retaliatory firing and was subsequently captured, while his accomplice was also detained at the scene. This high-profile arrest underscores the aggressive law enforcement approach and strict zero-tolerance policy adopted by the state administration against violent crime and attacks on citizens and security personnel alike.
