    'Catch Me If You Can': Wanted Jharkhand Gangster, Who Once Dared Police, Killed In Encounter

    Uttam Yadav, a Jharkhand gangster, termed by the police as “longstanding headache,” was allegedly killed in an encounter on Saturday evening. The officials have called it a major breakthrough against organised crime in the state.
    Wanted in several cases of murder, robbery, and extortion across Chatra and Hazaribagh, Uttam had also become infamous earlier this year after a video of him daring police to arrest him went viral.
    Jharkhand DGP Anurag Gupta said the operation took place near the Bagra–Jabra road under Simaria police station after intelligence inputs tracked Yadav in the area.
    “When the police team reached the spot, Yadav opened fire on the personnel, forcing them to retaliate,” Gupta was quoted as saying by the outlet.
    The gangster was critically injured in the exchange of fire and taken to Chatra Sadar Hospital, where he was declared dead. An Apache motorcycle suspected to be his was seized from the scene.
    “This is a major breakthrough—a top criminal has been killed in an encounter in Chatra district this evening, though the operation was carried out by the Hazaribagh police. He had a long record of cases against him,” Gupta added.
    According to an official, Yadav had been on run since over a year. Earlier in June this year, he had shared a video after a jewellery shop heist in Hazaribagh, claiming responsibility and issuing threats to local businessmen.
    “One of his associates has also been arrested, allegedly with weapons during a separate raid,” the DGP said, adding that a search was underway for other members of his gang.
