Noida cop murder case: Ghaziabad police announces rewards for those on run
A seven-member Noida police team had arrived at Nahal village around 11pm on May 25 to arrest Qadir, who was a suspect in the theft of a music system and ECM from a Verna car. The theft allegedly occurred on the night of May 2–3, and a first information report (FIR) was lodged at Phase 3 police station in Noida on May 21 against an unidentified person.
The Noida police, in their FIR lodged at Masuri police station in Ghaziabad on May 26, stated that they were attacked twice by a mob that resorted to indiscriminate firing, during which Constable Saurabh was shot in the head and killed.
'The CCTV footage which we recovered has indicated that there were about 25–30 persons in the mob. They resorted to pelting stones at the police team. The videos available with us to date show that no one had any firearms or weapons with them,' said Surendra Nath Tiwary, DCP (Rural Zone), Ghaziabad.
Tiwary added that 15 people, including Qadir and his brother Adil, have been arrested, while four others remain absconding. 'We have announced a reward of ₹25,000 each for their arrest,' Tiwary said.
The Ghaziabad police maintained they were not formally informed by Noida police about the operation. They also said that only one bullet casing was recovered from the scene, even though Saurabh was shot from close range, according to the autopsy report.
'So far, we do not have evidence that could indicate that any of the arrested suspects fired a shot at Saurabh. Our investigation is continuing with eight teams, and we have roped in informers to locate any other video footage or clues,' Tiwary added.
The FIR has been filed under multiple sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, including murder, attempt to murder, rioting, assault on public servants, criminal conspiracy, and criminal intimidation, along with provisions under the Criminal Law (Amendment) Act.

On July 12, a minor girl was abducted and raped by an unknown male in a mango grove in Arambakkam, Thiruvallur District, while she was returning from school. The child was under the care of her grandmother in Arambakkam since her parents live in the bordering Andhra Pradesh. Later, she was taken to hospital and a case was registered in this regard in Arambakkam Police Station under the provisions of the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO)Act. Political parties, including AIADMK, BJP and others, staged protests demanding justice and police to nab the accused quickly. Special teams were formed by Inspector General of Police, North Asra Garg. The teams fanned to the border areas of Andhra Pradesh and railway stations in both states and worked hard on various clues to crack the case. Releasing pictures and CCTV footage of the accused involved in sexual assault on the girl, the police announced a reward of ₹5 lakh for the person who would give information on the accused. On Friday (July 26, 2025), a special team of police nabbed the accused, who was working at a Dhaba in Sullurpeta, Andhra Pradesh, nearly 25 kilometres away from Arambakkam. He was brought to Kavaraipettai police station on Friday night and interrogated until Saturday.

He took the child despite resistance and committed the offence. Sources also added that he came to know that the police were looking for him a day before he was caught. He was planning to escape to Assam. During interrogation, he confessed the crime. He was subjected to medical examination and taken to a court for remand.
