Shooter Killed In Encounter

The two men accused of opening fire at Patani’s ancestral residence in Bareilly were killed in a police encounter in Uttar Pradesh’s Ghaziabad on Wednesday, officials said. A Delhi Police personnel sustained injuries during the joint operation carried out by the Delhi Police’s Special Cell, Haryana STF, and UP STF.
