Under Adityanath, UP Police Has Injured Over 3,300 in 'Encounters', Finds Report

-TheWire.in

Uttar Pradesh has seen 8,742 encounters ever since the BJP CM took over.

New Delhi: Since Bharatiya Janata Party’s Adityanath came to power in March 2017, Uttar Pradesh Police has injured at least 3,302 alleged criminals in 8,742 ‘encounters’, leaving several of them with bullet wounds on their legs and bringing to unofficial use the term “operation langda” (lame), the Indian Express has reported.

The number of deaths in this time frame stands at 146.

Senior officials of the state police deny having any strategy behind causing such injuries in ‘encounters’ and do not see it functioning as a deterrent for those involved in criminal activities. The state police also does not maintain any data on how many such alleged criminals were left disabled after being shot at their legs. On the other hand, they say 13 uniformed men were killed and 1,157 were injured during such encounters, leading to arrests of 18,225 criminals.
