Mohammad Sharif, Accused in 2007 Rampur CRPF Attack, Shot Dead in Uttar Pradesh
Mohammad Sharif, accused in the 2007 Rampur CRPF camp attack that killed eight, was shot dead by unidentified assailants in Uttar Pradesh's Rampur district while traveling with his son. Sharif's death sentence was overturned by the Allahabad High Court in October 2025 due to insufficient evidence, leading to his release after serving over 10 years. Police are investigating the killing, with no confirmed motive or suspects. A BJP MLA alleged political support for Sharif from Samajwadi Party leader Azam Khan, a claim yet unverified by authorities.
