Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath expressed grief over the death of two police constables while they were discharging their duties.

Police constable Ajay Yadav was posted in Agra's Shamsabad area while constable Ravi Rawat was posted in UP-100 in Firozabad.

According to Additional SP Agra (East) R P Gupta, Yadav was shot at by miscreant following which he died.

Firozabad SP Ajay Kumar said Rawat came under the rear wheel of a tractor early Saturday morning when he was chasing it following reports that it was carrying illegally-mined sand.

The CM issued orders to pay Rs 20 lakh to the dependents, including wife, of the constables and a financial assistance of Rs 5 lakh if their parents are still alive.
