Asad and Ghulam, who were both wanted in connection with the February 24 murder of Umesh Pal, were killed in a shootout with the UP Police's Special Task Force team in Jhansi. They were later stopped by an STF unit in Jhansi as they attempted to escape on a motorbike. They responded by firing on the staff, which resulted in their deaths.
Special Director General (Law and Order) Prashant Kumar said that both were having a reward of Rs 5 lakh each. He claimed that the accused was found to have sophisticated weaponry developed abroad. He further mentioned that Vimal Kumar and Navendu Kumar, two deputy superintendents of police, were in charge of the Uttar Pradesh Special Task Force squad.
