The constable, part of a team from Gautam Buddh Nagar’s Phase-III police station, was shot dead while attempting to arrest a wanted criminal on Sunday night.
Ghaziabad police on Tuesday said they have arrested six men for their alleged involvement in the killing of a Noida police constable during a raid in Nahal village under Masuri police station limits.
The constable, part of a team from Gautam Buddh Nagar’s Phase-III police station, was shot dead while attempting to arrest a wanted criminal on Sunday night.
The incident occurred when the Noida police team, in plain clothes and without informing local authorities, reached Nahal village to arrest Qadir, a history-sheeter wanted in 25 criminal cases registered in Gautam Buddh Nagar, Ghaziabad, and Muzaffarnagar, said DCP Rural Surendra Nath Tiwari.
As the police team was taking Qadir into custody, his associates, hiding near a panchayat bhavan, launched a violent assault. The people opened fire, pelted stones, and attacked the police team with sharp weapons.
