Nusrat was killed in an encounter by the local police in Ghaziabad, Uttar Pradesh. He was picked up by the local police from his house on the 22nd August, 2004 at about 9.00 p.m. The police claimed that it had to open fire in self defence, when Nusrat fired from his pistol at the police party. The Commission on consideration of report and related material, observed that the circumstances were totally against the police as there was no forensic evidence provided to suggest that Nusrat used his pistol to fire at the police party. Therefore, the Commission recommended that the Government of Uttar Pradesh pay rupees five lakh as monetary relief to the next of the kin of Nusrat along with a compliance report.
