“We received information on Saturday that Ankit Gurjar was travelling with his friends to Dadri in a car from Delhi. Crime branch and police teams cordoned off the jungle of Milki Lacchi village where the encounter took place. Gurjar was shot two-three times on his leg and he is currently being treated at the district hospital,” said Gautam Budh Nagar senior superintendent of police Dharmendra Singh.

Gurjar had a reward of `50,000 on his head and was arrested by the Special Task Force (west) last year. A key member of the notorious Sundar Bhati gang, Gurjar gave the slip to the police on April 25 from the washroom of a flat of his relative during transit from Maharajganj to the district courts, Surajpur in Gautam Budh Nagar.

Director general of police Javeed Ahmad announced a reward of `50,000 for the police team for catching Gurjar. Ahmad was unavailable for comments.
