Former Mukhiya Brijesh Ganjhu, Once Most Wanted, Killed in Police Encounter

Brijesh Ganjhu, who once held the elected position of Mukhiya in his village, later rose to notoriety as a most-wanted criminal. Law‑enforcement agencies had listed him among their top fugitives after a series of alleged offences. The pursuit culminated in an armed encounter with police, during which Ganjhu was shot dead. The encounter marks the abrupt end of a trajectory that began with local leadership and descended into criminal infamy.

Authorities confirmed that the operation was conducted in accordance with standard protocols, though details of the location and the exact circumstances remain limited in public reports. The incident underscores the challenges faced by police in confronting individuals who transition from community roles to violent crime.

No further statements were released regarding any investigation or potential links to broader criminal networks, and the case is now closed with Ganjhu’s death.
