The town of Kairana in western Uttar Pradesh had been in news since last couple of years for the exodus of almost a thousand Hindu families. The Hindu community of Kairana was forced to leave their homes, business, properties as they were targeted by various organised gangs, run by people belonging to a ‘particular’ community. The mastermind behind the exodus of Hindus from Kairana were Mukim and Furqan. The gang of Mukim was involved in loot, extortion, kidnapping, murder and a number of crimes against the Hindu community. Because of the reign of terror unleashed by the gang members, people were on an exodus.

The news coming from Uttar Pradesh is that terrorist Furqan has been encountered by the UP police today morning. Furqan suffered four bullet injuries and is critical. He was one of the deadliest terrorists in the region, who sent threatening letters and carried out extrotion, murders, kidnapping in the region. There were more than 14 cases filed against him. Furqan was the sharp-shooter of Mukim, who was running this terror module sitting inside the jail. It can well be imagined that if a terrorist was operating from inside the jail, he must have had the support of the previous UP Government. Now with change in the government, all the evil deeds of the previous government are coming to light.

Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath is personally taking stock of situation in Kairana and nearby area, where encounters and arrests are still continuing. According to Shri A K Jha, the Superintendent of Police (Shamli), four members of the Mukim-Furqan gang were apprehended and an encounter ensued. All four of them are critically injured. Also, more than 20 criminals related to the gang have been arrested in a joint operation conducted by police forces from Shamli and neighbouring districts of Western Uttar Pradesh, where the gang had let loose a reign of terror. Israr and Wajid were two other key conspirators who have been arrested in last one month.

As promised in election manifesto, Yogi Adityanath and his team is leaving no stone unturned to improve law and order in Uttar Pradesh. With regular arrests and encounters of criminals, the state may very soon shed its old image of a ‘goonda raaj’, and move towards a peaceful state with a strong law and order situation.
