Removal of more than 50 thousand loudspeakers from religious shrines in UP - and that too without any visible opposition or clashes - has been one of the finest examples of good governance in any state in recent times.

An encunter is an engagement between the security forces and the criminals and NOT an extra-judicial killing. It may, after the mandatory inquiry, found to have been false or, as you would like to say, extra-judicial killing. But you don't have to jump the gun.
