| For the past 36 hours, a lone dacoit in a Chitrakoot village has engaged a force of around 400 police personnel, led by UP’s top officers, in an encounter. Ghanshyam Nishad alias Naam has shot dead three policemen, including a company commander of the Provincial Armed Constabulary, and has injured IGP V K Gupta, DIG S K Singh and the Special Task Force in-charge of Allahabad, Navendu Singh.
Ghanshyam is hiding in Jamauli village, in a cluster of around 40 houses. After evacuating the villagers, the police set the houses on fire, hoping to smoke him out. But each time policemen tried to approach the house where he was hiding, they came under fire.
After the policemen were shot, Addl DGP (Law and Order) Brij Lal took charge of the operations and mobilized forces for a round of final attack. However, with darkness falling and police lacking night-vision devices or arrangements to light up the place, the operation was suspended till Thursday morning.
