Details of the Anuj Pratap Encounter in Sultanpur

On September 23, 2024, in Sultanpur district, Anuj Pratap Singh, who was accused of a robbery at a jeweler’s shop, was killed in an early morning encounter with the Special Task Force (STF). In the complaint sent to the NHRC, it is mentioned that the circumstances, timing, and procedure of this encounter were strikingly similar to previous cases. As in earlier instances, the encounter took place in the morning, and the accused reportedly attempted to flee after firing at the police.

In response, the police retaliated, leading to the death of the accused. The complaint emphasizes the need for a thorough investigation into the matter. The lawyer argues that if such incidents continue, it will become increasingly difficult to prevent serious violations of human rights.
