SocialTwist Tell-a-Friend
A GANG of motorcycle-borne criminals went around Noida shooting and robbing people with chilling impunity on Tuesday night, leaving a woman dead and a retired army officer with severe gunshot injuries. The suburban township was shaken and panicky the day after.

Four men on two bikes first robbed a businessman and two passers-by at gunpoint. They then tried to snatch the car of a retired lieutenant-general after shooting at him. Finally, they shot dead a former airhostess whom they also tried to rob. All of this in just an hour.

By the time the police swung into action, the gang had disappeared. Noida police chief A. Satish Ganesh said, "We received information in reverse order - heard of the last incident first. That's why the delay."

There has been a steady increase in the incidence of crime in Noida over a comparable period last year: vehicle theft is up from 153 to 252, thefts from 109 to 124, and murders from 11 to 15.
