News India Live, Digital Desk: The Special Task Force (STF) of Uttar Pradesh has continued its big campaign against the crime and brought another notorious criminal to his end. Shah Rukh Pathan, the infamous sharpshooter of Sanjeev Jeeva Gang, was seen in several serious criminal cases, in a police encounter in Muzaffarnagar in the early hours of Tuesday. The incident took place near Purkazi toll plaza. The STF team was looking for Shah Rukh Pathan for a long time, which had carried out many sensational incidents. He was said to be the main accused in the famous Ashish Gupta and Dilshad double murder in Lakhimpur Kheri. In addition, several serious cases of murder, extortion and robbery were registered against him in several districts of western Uttar Pradesh including Meerut, Moradabad and Bijnor. He was constantly absconding since he carried out these incidents. As soon as the STF came to know about his location in Purkazi area of Muzaffarnagar on Tuesday, a team led by Additional Superintendent of Police Anoop Kumar immediately came into action. The STF team tried to surround him, on which Shah Rukh started firing on the police. STF also fired in retaliation and Shah Rukh Pathan was seriously injured during the encounter. He was immediately rushed to the hospital, where doctors declared him dead. A pistol and its motorcycle have been recovered from the encounter site. Shah Rukh Pathan was a key member of the gang of notorious gangster Sanjeev Maheshwari alias Jeeva. Sanjeev Jeeva himself was killed in a firing in the Lucknow court complex last year. This encounter is being seen as a major police win against organized crime and wanted criminals in Uttar Pradesh.
