Police in Ghaziabad kill the main accused, Asad, following an encounter after the fatal stabbing of Class 11 student Surya Chauhan. Both outlets link the incident to the stabbing of Chauhan, who is from Khoda and dies of injuries after treatment. Asad, also identified as a resident of the Khoda area, is described as being wanted in connection with the murder and as having been on the run. Times of India reports that police attempt to apprehend Asad leads to him opening fire, prompting officers to return fire. It says Asad is shot dead and later dies of injuries at the hospital. The report also states that an injured police constable is undergoing treatment.
The Hindu similarly describes the police encounter outcome, stating that the main accused is killed after the encounter. While details such as the bounty amount and the extent of injuries to police are emphasized by Times of India, both sources agree on the core sequence: the stabbing of Chauhan, Asad being the primary suspect, and his death following police action.
