Early life and background

Muhammed Gufran was born in 1996 in the village of Puranpur Pathkhan in Pratapgarh district, Uttar Pradesh. He grew up in the region and was known locally by his given name. His father is named Rizwan; information about his mother and any spouse was not available in the material provided.

Career

Gufran emerged as the leader of a criminal group that operated in parts of Uttar Pradesh, principally in the Pratapgarh and Sultanpur districts. Law enforcement records attributed a range of offences to him and his associates, including robbery, theft, extortion, and multiple incidents of homicide. At one point in 2023 there were 13 criminal cases linked to him, among them several cases described as murder or attempted murder.

Incidents tied to Gufran over 2023 included an armed robbery at a jewellery shop in Pratapgarh in April, during which he was captured on CCTV and a man was shot. Police investigations and subsequent arrests of gang members also tied the group to the killing of a young man named Tanveer in mid-May. In those investigations, police recovered cash, several mobile phones, and multiple firearms that authorities said were connected to robbery cases and to members of Gufran’s gang. Arrested associates described participating in thefts and robberies and said they used stolen proceeds for daily needs; they also implicated Gufran in violent acts.

A later case in September 2023 involved the killing of a man identified as Lalta (also reported as Lalta Prasad or Lalta Sharma). Police accounts described a plot in which a local resident hired contract killers and paid an advance toward the murder. Authorities reported that Gufran visited the victim under the pretext of seeking treatment for a sick relative and then later shot the man near a canal while the victim was riding on Gufran’s motorcycle.

Public profile

Police forces in multiple districts publicly sought Gufran’s arrest during 2023. Rewards were announced for information leading to his capture: an initial reward of 50,000 rupees was later raised, and by late June 2023 some police forces were offering 100,000 rupees while others offered smaller sums. Media reports documented CCTV footage from the April robbery that helped identify him.

Death and police operation

On 27 June 2023, authorities from the Uttar Pradesh Special Task Force located Gufran in the Kokhraj area of Kaushambi district during a pre-dawn operation. According to police accounts, the team surrounded a site near a toll plaza and pursued Gufran when he attempted to flee on a motorcycle. During a firefight that lasted for several minutes, officers say Gufran was shot and sustained a gunshot wound to the jaw. He was taken to a hospital and was declared dead around 6:00 am. Police reported recovering a 9mm carbine and a .32 bore pistol from him during the operation.

Latest updates

The accounts available conclude with the June 2023 encounter in which Gufran was killed. Reporting referenced ongoing efforts by police to trace and apprehend him in the months leading up to that operation, and detailed several arrests of his alleged gang members and seizures of cash, phones, and weapons related to investigations into robberies and murders.
