Rashid, who had a notorious reputation in multiple murder and robbery cases, was tracked down and killed in an encounter with the Uttar Pradesh police in Shahpur. According to senior Superintendent of Police Sanjiv Suman, Muzaffarnagar, Rashid, also known by his aliases 'Sipahiya' and 'Chalta Firta', had a cash reward of Rs 50,000 on his head.
