According to officials, more than ten criminals fell into police custody during these operations. Teams moved with clear intelligence inputs and acted before the offenders could escape or retaliate. The crackdown also included Operation Langda, through which the police arrested five more offenders linked with cases of robbery, extortion and repeat violence. Officers stated that the goal is to keep pressure on active criminal groups and prevent them from reorganising.

The sudden series of encounters sent a strong warning across the crime network in western and central Uttar Pradesh. Police teams continued checking hideouts, monitoring local routes and keeping surveillance on active gangs. The government has also strengthened coordination between city units so criminals cannot shift from one district to another for shelter.

Overall, the intensified action shows the state’s clear intent to create safer cities, reduce gang activity and respond quickly to rising crime threats.

The accused were identified as Ravinda alias Kullu and Arun, both from Rohtak, Haryana. They belonged to the Goldy Brar–Rohit Godara gang, which is active across states. During the encounter, the duo opened fire on the police. Officers retaliated, leaving both men injured. They later died from their injuries.

The case began on September 12, when two bike-borne shooters fired nearly 12 rounds outside Disha Patani’s ancestral home in Bareilly’s Civil Lines area. The attack shocked locals and raised concerns about celebrity security. Following the incident, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath promised Disha’s father, Jagdish Patani, strict action and stronger security cover.

Goldy Brar is suspected to be hiding in the US, while Rohit Godara is believed to be in the UK. Both are wanted by the NIA and several state police units. The Ghaziabad encounter is being seen as a major breakthrough in Uttar Pradesh’s fight against organized crime.
