The body of Ankit, a 31-year-old alleged history-sheeter, was found abandoned along a highway near a village in the Gangnagar police station area. Superintendent of Police (Rural) Rakesh Kumar Mishra confirmed the identity of the deceased, a resident of Meenakshipuram, known for his extensive criminal record.
Ankit had approximately 10 criminal cases registered against him at the Gangnagar police station, marking him as a notorious figure in the region. The discovery of his body has raised questions about the circumstances leading to his death. According to Mishra, initial examinations revealed no bullet wounds or severe injury marks, except for a fractured thigh bone. The exact cause of death remains unclear, pending the results of a post-mortem examination.
Local authorities have launched a thorough investigation to uncover the motive behind the killing and identify the perpetrators. The absence of obvious signs of violence has deepened the mystery, with police exploring whether the death was a result of foul play, an accident, or a targeted act linked to Ankit’s criminal past. The fractured thigh bone suggests possible trauma, but without further evidence, the circumstances remain speculative.

The case has drawn significant attention in Meerut, given Ankit’s history of criminal activities, which included charges ranging from theft to assault, according to police records. Residents of the area expressed mixed reactions, with some speculating that his death could be tied to rivalries or retribution within the local underworld. Others believe it may have been an unrelated incident, possibly a hit-and-run gone unreported.
Police are actively pursuing leads, including questioning individuals connected to Ankit and reviewing any available surveillance footage from the highway area. The investigation is also focusing on reconstructing Ankit’s movements in the hours leading up to his death to establish a timeline and potential suspects.
As the probe continues, authorities have urged the public to come forward with any information that could assist in solving the case. The mysterious death of this known criminal has left the community on edge, awaiting answers from the ongoing investigation.
