When a few local journalists in UP's Aligarh district received a call from police around 6.45am on Thursday, they did not know what to expect. To their surprise, a cop on the phone asked them to reach Machua village under Harduaganj police station if they were interested in "watching and filming a real encounter'.
The news spread like wildfire and within 15 minutes, an entire troop of local and national journalists lined up at the site, roughly 25km from the district headquarters.
On their arrival, the scribes saw a team of policemen, some of them armed with bulletproof jackets and a few others clad in their uniforms or even Tshirts, initially corner and then gun down two men -- Mustakim and Naushad -- "armed and hiding' in an abandoned irrigation department building.
