Notorious criminal #NaeemBaba was killed in an encounter with police in #Meerut, #UttarPradesh, on Saturday. Naeem, with a bounty of Rs 50,000 on his head, was the prime suspect in the brutal murder of a family of five, including a mason named Moin, his wife, and three daughters, on January 9 in #SohailGarden, Meerut.

The police had been tracking Naeem for ten days, and he was finally cornered and killed around 3:45 AM in the same area. According to Meerut SSP Vipin Tada, Naeem's body has been taken into custody and sent for post-mortem.

Naeem's criminal history extended beyond Uttar Pradesh, with involvement in the murder of his stepbrother and his family. He frequently changed his identity and location to evade arrest. Meanwhile, his associate, Salman, who also carries a Rs 50,000 bounty, remains at large. Salman was implicated in the same gruesome crime, and police teams are carrying out operations in #Rajasthan, #Maharashtra, and #Uttarakhand to track him.

CCTV footage played a crucial role in tracking the accused. The footage captured Naeem and Salman barefoot, exiting Sohail Garden with blood-stained clothes and weapons concealed in bags. Despite releasing the footage to the public, both men initially managed to elude capture.
