Controversy Erupts Over Alleged Fake Encounter of Robbery Accused

The mother of Mangesh Yadav, accused in a Sultanpur robbery, claims police killed him in a fake encounter. She moved a court plea seeking FIR against involved police personnel, alleging murder. With political parties divided, the case stirs controversy in Uttar Pradesh.

The unsettling encounter of Mangesh Yadav, tied to a robbery case, has sparked serious allegations against police officials in Sultanpur. Accused by his mother, Sheela Devi, the encounter has been labeled as fake, allegedly orchestrated by the police.

Sheela Devi, aided by her legal team, has formally petitioned the court, accusing the Sultanpur superintendent of police and other officers of murder under the guise of law enforcement. She claims they took Mangesh from their home, later reporting him dead, yet the postmortem details remain undisclosed.

This case has ignited a political clash, with the Samajwadi Party decrying a fake encounter and the BJP defending the police's actions. Amid ongoing investigations, the mother seeks justice fearing evidence might be tampered. The court demanded a report by October 11, reflecting growing concern over potential abuses of power in law enforcement.
