Mangesh Yadav Encounter Controversy: Said a lot but did not tell. Police said how the conspiracy to rob Bharat Jewelers shop in Sultanpur was hatched. Who all were involved in that conspiracy. Who stole the motorcycle to execute this conspiracy. How much looted gold was recovered. But did not tell whether the encounter of Mangesh Yadav was real or fake? Did not tell whether Mangesh Yadav was picked up on 2 September or not? Did not even tell how Mangesh Yadav’s encounter happened in chappal? In the history of UP Police, there has hardly been a bigger press conference than this in any robbery case. The importance of this case can be understood from this.
The biggest press conference in the robbery case
Tables, chairs, mikes, everything was set up in Lucknow Police Headquarters. All the crime reporters behind the camera had taken their seats. And then one by one, the three top officers of UP Police sat on their pre-decided chairs. UP Police DGP Prashant Kumar was sitting in the middle. Amitabh Yash, who is UP’s ADG Law and Order and STF Chief, was sitting on his left. While ADG Lucknow Zone SB Shirodkar was sitting on Prashant Kumar’s right.
DGP did not say anything about Mangesh’s encounter
In recent times, not only in UP but in any state of the country, such a huge crowd has rarely gathered together to answer the questions of a reporter regarding a robbery case. But here the matter was a little different. The issue was not about robbery, the question was about the encounter of Mangesh Yadav related to robbery, due to which fingers are being raised on the UP Police. But see the wonder, DGP sahab talked about everything from robbery to the state’s GDP. But he did not give a single answer to the questions being raised on the encounter of Mangesh Yadav, which could remove the doubt of whether the encounter was real or fake.
The UP police had held the press conference with full preparation. In the middle of the press conference, some videos were also played. Through this video, a very clear picture of the five robbers who robbed Bharat Jewelers in Sultanpur at around 1:45 pm on August 28 was shown. Not only this, the UP police also used graphics on these pictures just like news channels usually do. The image of each robber was frozen and a number from one to five was shown and their names were also shown in a circle.
DGP sahab dodged the question
All this effort was made to show that Mangesh Yadav was one of the five robbers inside the showroom. However, no one’s face was visible. Obviously, the question was justified that without a face, how can we believe that this is Mangesh? A reporter even asked. This DGP sahab, getting irritated, took the question from one place to another.
Mangesh’s criminal history is true
Amidst the questions being raised about the encounter of Mangesh Yadav, perhaps the UP police had forgotten that no one doubts the robbery at Bharat Jewelers in Sultanpur. It is true that there was a robbery there. It is also true that the robbers were caught on camera. One of these five masked men could be Mangesh Yadav. This is also possible. It is also true that Mangesh Yadav has eight old cases of theft against him. He went to jail twice, this also cannot be denied. But these were not questions at all.
There is question only on encounter
The question was whether the encounter of Mangesh Yadav was fake? Was Mangesh Yadav picked up from his house two days ago? Instead of answering this, during the press conference, these statements of Mangesh Yadav’s mother and his sister were shown to the media in the form of a video. With the claim that this video is of September 3. That is, of the time when the police went to search for Mangesh at his house.
Two claims regarding Mangesh
This statement of Mangesh Yadav’s mother and sister becomes important because after the encounter of Mangesh Yadav, both of them had claimed to the media that some policemen in plain clothes had picked up Mangesh from his house on the night of September 2. But now in this video released by UP Police on the 3rd, both of them are saying that Mangesh was not at home for the last two-three months. He had gone to Mumbai. One claim made in front of the media was of September 2 and then there is a claim released by UP Police on September 3.
Mangesh’s dress changed in the video!
But there is a catch in this video of September 3 from UP police. That catch is that in one video when the policeman is questioning Mangesh Yadav’s sister Princy, then looking at Princy it seems that she was sleeping and has just woken up when the policeman woke her up. At this time Princy is wearing a white shirt or kurta, but after this as soon as the police interrogates Mangesh’s mother, Princy is seen in a round neck t-shirt. That means her clothes had changed in that time.
Robbery story according to police
According to these three top officers of the state, the whole story of the robbery is something like this. The conspiracy was hatched long ago. Then Bharat Jewelers was also reconnoitered twice. The pictures of the reconnaissance were also shown in the press conference. Not only this, the names of the people who did the recce were also given. However, according to the UP Police itself, Mangesh Yadav’s name is not mentioned in both the reconnaissances. But Mangesh’s name was definitely taken in the theft of the two motorcycles that were used for the robbery.
No direct answer was received on the question of bike theft
But when a reporter asked a question about the theft of one of these two bikes that how come the report was suddenly written eight days after the bike was stolen and why this report was not written earlier, then in response to this question too, DGP Sahib was heard saying something else.
The story of the bike stolen from Jaunpur
Actually, yesterday we showed the conversation of Naseem in this incident, whose bike was stolen from outside a hospital in Jaunpur on 20th August. Naseem kept visiting the police station for the next several days. He also called the police on 112. But no one registered his report. Then on 28th August, just a few hours after the robbery at Bharat Jewelers, a report of his bike theft was suddenly registered.
This could have also happened
The question here is that if the report of Naseem’s bike theft had been filed on time, and the bike thieves had been identified from the CCTV footage of the hospital, then who knows, the conspiracy of robbery at Bharat Jewelers would have been exposed earlier. Then neither the robbery would have happened nor the UP police would have had to encounter Mangesh Yadav.
The government also gave clarification
By the way, the amazing thing is that not only the top police officers of UP came in front of the media regarding this robbery, but the Deputy Chief Minister of the state Brijesh Pathak and the Jewelers Association of Sultanpur were also brought forward to give clarification.
