The DGP mentioned that all the looted gold from this incident has been recovered. In any encounter, return fire is standard practice, though misconceptions can arise. Such operations follow the Supreme Court's guidelines. The policy is one of zero tolerance for crime, and the police are committed to public safety. A fear-free environment has been provided for traders and industries.
It is noteworthy that on Thursday (August 12), Uttar Pradesh DGP Prashant Kumar and ADG Law and Order Amitabh Yash held a press conference to disclose that two reconnaissance missions were conducted before the Sultanpur incident. Approximately 2.5 kilograms of gold have been recovered from the accused's possession. There was also an attempt to spread confusion about the police operation.
According to Amitabh Yash, on August 28, Vipin Singh’s gang carried out a multi-crore robbery in Sultanpur. The gang had previously committed similar crimes in Lucknow and Surat. The motorcycle used in the robbery was stolen from Jaunpur, implicating Mangesh Yadav. A Bolero vehicle was used for the escape. Surveillance tracked them, gathering evidence one step at a time. Following the arrests, looted silver, gold, and cash were recovered.

Meanwhile, Vipin Singh, Vinay Shukla, Arvind, Vivek, and Durgesh were positioned around the shop to create a blockade, ready to fire in case of any issues or police intervention.
