Gun Attack on Notorious Criminal During Court Transfer Shocks Haridwar

According to police officials, Vinay Tyagi was being taken under custody for a court appearance when the attackers intercepted the police convoy and opened fire, hitting him with two bullets. The sudden assault caused chaos at the scene, and Tyagi collapsed with severe injuries. He was rushed for emergency medical treatment and later referred to a higher medical center due to his critical condition. A police investigation into the attack is currently underway, with efforts focused on identifying and tracking down the shooters.

Vinay Tyagi is a well-known criminal figure with a long record and is a key accused in a high-value theft case involving crores of rupees. The case is linked to a prominent contractor from Meerut and Ghaziabad, whose luxury vehicle was found parked in Dehradun containing several kilograms of gold, large amounts of cash, and documents related to benami properties. Investigators allege that Tyagi orchestrated the theft of these valuables, making the case one of the most high-profile financial crime investigations in the region.

Sources familiar with the investigation revealed that while the police have already recovered the stolen cash and gold, documents related to benami properties worth several crores of rupees are still believed to be in Tyagi’s possession. These documents are considered crucial, as they could potentially expose large-scale financial irregularities. There are growing concerns that the contractor involved fears these papers could be handed over to the Enforcement Directorate, potentially triggering extensive legal scrutiny and action.

Officials estimate that the overall case could involve assets worth hundreds of crores, significantly increasing its legal and economic implications. The targeted attack on Tyagi has intensified speculation about attempts to silence or intimidate him amid mounting pressure from investigative agencies.

As police continue to probe both the shooting and the underlying financial crime, the incident underscores the dangerous intersection of organized crime, economic offenses, and enforcement challenges. The outcome of Tyagi’s medical condition and the recovery of the remaining documents are expected to play a decisive role in shaping the future course of this high-stakes investigation.
