Are encounters happening in UP because of religion? Understand from the figures how much power

Asad and Ghulam, who were absconding in the Umesh Pal murder case, were killed by the UP STF. When the news of the encounter of Assad and Ghulam spread, politics also intensified. Religion is being searched in the encounter of criminals. Asaduddin Owaisi said that BJP does encounter after seeing religion. On the other hand, the head of Samajwadi Party said that BJP is against brotherhood.


In UP, the process of mixing the mafias in the soil has started. Atiq Ahmed's son Asad has been killed in an encounter by the UP police. After the death of his son, Atiq said that everything happened because of him. This means that the mafia is feeling helpless in front of the power of the UP government and the police. But politics is also strange. Religion is being searched even in the encounters of criminals. Asaduddin Owaisi said that BJP does encounter after seeing religion. On the other hand, the head of Samajwadi Party said that BJP is against brotherhood.


On February 24, Atiq's son Asad was caught on CCTV firing bullets at Umesh Pal. On the other hand, Atiq's shooter Ghulam Muhammad was seen waiting for Umesh Pal in a shop. Both were absconding after the incident. On Thursday, UP STF killed both Asad and Ghulam near Jhansi. At the time when the encounter between Asad and Ghulam was going on in Jhansi, the UP police produced Atiq in the CJM court of Prayagraj.


When the news of the encounter of Assad and Ghulam spread, politics also intensified. When the BJP government of the state patted its back, Asaduddin Owaisi raised questions. Hyderabad MP and AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi also took a dig at the government and asked whether the BJP would do similar encounters with those who killed Junaid and Nasir? No, because BJP does encounter in the name of religion. You want to dilute the law. Let's encounter the constitution.


See what government statistics say


How much truth is there in Owaisi's allegations? To know this, now let's talk about statistics. According to the records, 183 criminals have been killed in police encounters since 2017 i.e. since the Yogi government came to power. At the same time, 13 policemen have also been martyred. About 35 percent of the criminals killed are Muslims. By 2021, this figure of criminals was 135. Of these, 51 were Muslims. It can be understood from these figures whether the Yogi government is targeting only Muslims and doing encounters?


Special conversation with ADG of UP STF


On the encounter of Asad and Ghulam, UP STF ADG Amitabh Yash, in a special conversation with Aaj Tak, said that everyone had seen the CCTV footage of the incident that took place in Prayagraj on February 24. An important witness, who had security, was killed. Along with this, the security personnel were also killed. Such a criminal gang, which has killed policemen in the past as well. Their search had begun. Because this incident was an attack on the root of the entire justice system. If such an incident happens and such fear spreads, then no witness will further testify in the court.


If the accused had to surrender, they would have done it - ADG STF On the allegations of encounter by opposition leaders for political gains, STF ADG said that if they had to surrender, they would have surrendered in the court a long time ago. This was not their intention. He had fired on STF. The work of STF is done within the purview of the law. Every encounter passes through a thorough investigation. Till date no encounter of STF has been proved wrong. Such hard work can be questioned but cannot be proved wrong.


'Take action against all types of criminals'


On the question of connecting with religion, he said that our aim is not like this. We take action against all types of criminals. There are all kinds of people in this gang too. The guilty does not have any religious colour. STF has been formed only for such action. If any mafia gang does such activities, then it is a challenge for us to catch them. Our pressure has to work within the ambit of the law and give results. There is no need of any kind of pressure from outside.
