Kallu Yadav (d. 2006), also known as Kalua, was a dacoit leader from Western Uttar Pradesh, India, popularly known as the "King of Katri",[1] who was accused of killing more than 20 policemen, for which the Uttar Pradesh government offered a reward of Rs 1 lakh on him. Kalua was killed in an encounter by the Uttar Pradesh Police on 15 January 2006.[2]
Kallu Yadav, a resident of Purnangla village of Paraur police station of Shahjahanpur district, was a terror in Shahjahanpur, Etah, Badaun, Kannauj and Farukhabad districts, although the bandit leader Kallu was not a born or habitual criminal.[clarification needed] Shyam Singh's[who?] brother beat up Kallu badly after a dispute over possession of land in the village, after which Kallu became a dacoit. Kalua killed his enemy[who?] on the day of Holi in 1997 and threw the dead body on the banks of the river Ganges. Although Kalua has been encountered[clarification needed][3] by the Uttar Pradesh Police, still there is occasional extortion in the name of his gang.[4]
