Greater Noida Police arrested two men after an alleged exchange of fire during a late-night vehicle check in Bisrakh, linking them to thefts from locked homes and recovering jewellery, cash, a motorcycle, a country-made pistol and burglary tools, according to the Gautam Buddh Nagar Police Commissionerate.
The incident took place at about 12.30am when a Bisrakh police team was checking vehicles near Roza Golchakkar in the Roza Jalalpur outpost area. Police said two men approaching from the Chapraula railway bridge on a motorcycle tried to flee after being signalled to stop. They allegedly turned towards the 6 Percent Park service road in Roza Yakubpur.
According to the police account, the team chased the motorcycle to an area near Harit Upvan Park, where the suspects allegedly fired two rounds at the police personnel. The officers were not injured. Police said they fired in self-defence, hitting Jitendra alias Jeetu in the leg. He was arrested at the spot, while his alleged associate Pintu was detained during a combing operation.
The arrests are connected to two reported burglaries in the Bisrakh area. Police said a locked flat on the premises of the Community Health Centre in Bisrakh was broken into on 27 August 2026, with jewellery reported stolen. A second case was registered after jewellery and cash were allegedly taken from a locked house in a colony in Roza Jalalpur village on 13 October.
