Noida encounter: A criminal was held by police in Uttar Pradesh's Noida on Wednesday after an encounter broke out between the cops and the criminal. The Sector 39 Noida Police acting on precise information from an informant, conducted a joint checking of suspicious individuals, vehicles, and wanted criminals at the cut opposite Sector 42 today (September 18).

During this operation in Noida, a person on a motorcycle was spotted approaching from Sector 42 in front of Sadarpur Chowki. On seeing the police checking, the miscreant turned and tried to escape through the forested path of Sector 42.

The police party, suspecting the motorcyclist's intentions, chased him. Due to the rough terrain and uneven road, the motorcycle skidded. The suspect then fired at the police party while fleeing into the forest. 

In self-defence, the police also fired, injuring the suspect in the leg. During questioning, the injured suspect identified himself as Amir, son of Shahabuddin, resident of Gali No. 32, Khajoor Colony, Sector 39 Noida, aged about 26 years.
