Tension after encounter

SP chief Akhilesh Yadav attacks
Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav launched a scathing attack on the state government over the Bahraich incident. He said that this incident is a big failure, and the government could have prevented it. Akhilesh alleged that the government is working on the British policy of "divide and rule" and the law and order situation in the state has completely deteriorated. He promised that when his government comes, all encounters will be investigated and action will be taken against the culprits.
Security increased, situation started becoming normal
Police conducted flag marches in many parts of the city, and gradually the situation seemed to return to normal. Markets started opening up, and traffic resumed on the roads. However, heavy police force was still deployed at the spot, and the administration remained vigilant. The district administration increased vigilance in the violence-affected areas, especially in places where incidents of violence had occurred earlier.
Reaction of leaders
Leaders of many political parties have reacted to this incident. Union Minister of State for External Affairs Kirtivardhan Singh alias Raja Bhaiya called it unfortunate and said that the government will take strict action against the culprits. He justified the encounter and said that the government is committed to the security of the country and those who are trying to spoil mutual harmony will not be spared.
Encounter started from Nepal border
According to sources, the police had received information that Sarfaraz and Taleem were trying to flee to Nepal. The police chased them and when they were arrested, loaded weapons were recovered from them. During the encounter, both of them opened fire on the police, after which the police retaliated and injured them. A double barrel gun and a pistol have been recovered from both the accused.
Future actions
Bahraich Superintendent of Police Vrinda Shukla said that many more accused are absconding in this case, whose search is on. She assured that all the accused will be arrested soon and action will be taken against them under the National Security Act (NSA).
Will we get justice?
The murder of Ram Gopal Mishra has created an atmosphere of violence and tension in Bahraich, and after the encounter, the question is being raised whether this action of the police is in the direction of justice. The statement and allegations of the deceased's wife Roli, the reaction of the Samajwadi Party, and the questions raised about the encounter are making this incident even more complicated. More political reactions are likely to come on this in the coming days, and it will be important to see to what extent the questions raised on the police action are answered.
