Allahabad High Court seek police reports in 'fake encounter' case in UP's Firozabad
LUCKNOW: The Allahabad High Court has sought reports from police authorities in Uttar Pradesh and Rajasthan after conflicting accounts emerged over the arrest of a theft accused from Jaipur and his subsequent injury in an alleged police encounter in Firozabad.
The petition was filed by the deceased accused's wife. She said her husband, Awdhesh, was employed at a company in Jaipur. She had complained to the Rajasthan police that on December 5, 2025, at around 10 pm, police personnel arrived at the company premises and took her husband away without giving any reason or informing the family of his whereabouts.
The Rajasthan police subsequently conducted an inquiry into the complaint. In a communication issued by the assistant commissioner of police, Jaipur, it was stated that Awdhesh was wanted in connection with a theft case registered at a police station in Firozabad district, Uttar Pradesh, and that personnel from the concerned police station had taken him into custody.
