| #4 Noor Baksh alias Noora, one of underworld don Dawood IbrahimÂ’s notorious shooters, met with a violent end on Wednesday morning when he was shot dead in an encounter by the Special Task Force (STF) and Lucknow Police outside Lucknow Jail. He, heh, they used the "E" word. Additional DG (STF) Shailja Kant Misra told reporters Noora was being taken to court for a hearing when he tried to escape. Your classic "shot while trying to escape". Anyone find a shutter gun lying around? Two motorcyclists attacked the police posse and tried to whisk Noora away, but he was shot dead. While Noora died on the spot, the motorcyclists escaped. Must have been members of his "cadre", headed back to his "arms cache". |
