LUCKNOW: A dacoit wanted by Uttar Pradesh and Madhya Pradesh police in conneciton with many cases was shot dead in an encounter with the Special Task Force here on Wednesday.

"Chandrapal alias Chanda, who was wanted in about 15 cases of abduction, dacoity and illegal confinement, was killed in an encounter with the STF team in Vibhuti Khand area of Gomti Nagar," SSP STF Naveen Arora said.

He said Chanda carried a cash reward of Rs 50,000 on his head.

Arora said that his name figured in the abduction of a tannery owner in Kanpur a few months back.

"The STF, which had specific information that Chanda was planning more abductions in Kanpur and Lucknow, was tracking his movements from the last few months," he said.

A pistol was recovered from his possession.
They may be effective, but they just don't have the joie de vivre of the Rab.

#3  I was a dacoitman
Along the Khand roads I did ride
With sword and AK by my side
Many a young maid shed her life upon my blade
Many a camel lost his butthole to my trade
The bastards shot me in the spring of oh-oh-nine
And I did not survive...
