In a significant turn of events, Asad, the main accused in the murder of 17-year-old Surya Pratap Chauhan, was killed in a police encounter in Ghaziabad, Uttar Pradesh. Surya's mother expressed her relief, stating that justice had been achieved following her demand for an encounter. The incident that led to this outcome occurred on May 28, when Surya was fatally stabbed in the Khoda area. His death sparked widespread protests from local residents and Hindu organizations, who called for immediate arrests. Following the murder, police arrested three individuals but continued to search for Asad, who was on the run and had a reward of ₹50,000 for his capture. The encounter unfolded late Saturday night during a police operation, where Asad allegedly opened fire on officers, resulting in his death after being taken to the hospital. A police officer was also injured during the exchange. Authorities confirmed that investigations into the murder are still active, with a focus on completing all legal proceedings related to the case.
