Umesh Pal was the key witness of 2005’s Bahujan Smaja Party’s MLA Raju Pal Murdure case. Shanti Devi – Mothe of Umesh Pal thanked the Yogi government and said they had got justice for her son. The Deputy Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh also thanked the UP STF for the success of this encounter with Atiq Ahmed’s Son, Asad.
Maurya also said that the encounter resulted from retaliation by the police upon being fired by Asad and his associate Gulam. He said that this was a message to the criminals. This is the new India with Yogi Government, not the Samajwadi government protecting the criminals.
