A bullion trader was shot during a robbery in Bareilly, Uttar Pradesh, five days ago. The police were immediately informed about the incident, but the police suppressed the matter. Now, when the trader died and the uproar started, the SSP was informed about the incident. He considered the role of the inspector in this case suspicious and ordered an investigation. The incident took place in Katra in the Aonla police station area of the district. On the other hand, the bullion traders of the district have warned of agitation, demanding action against the inspector and the arrest of the robbers.
According to the police, bullion trader Srikant Patil, who lives near Ramlila Gate in Katra, was sleeping in his house five days ago. Meanwhile, robbers came to his neighborhood and started breaking the lock to enter the house. Hearing the sound of rattling, he came out caught hold of a miscreant, and started shouting.

As soon as the rest of the traders got this news, they all reached the SSP office in anger. The bullion traders said that a complaint was given to the Amla Inspector immediately after the incident. At that time, he took the matter lightly, and even when they all together complained the next day, he did not take any action. The captain himself expressed surprise at this complaint.
