For the family of murdered Haryanvi singer Ankit Balyan, the killing of two suspected shooters in a police encounter has brought a major development in the case—but not complete closure.

Two suspects, identified as Mohit and Sumit, were killed in a police encounter in Uttar Pradesh’s Shamli district. Both men were wanted in connection with the murder of Ankit Balyan and reportedly carried rewards of ₹50,000 each.

The police operation came days after Balyan was shot dead outside a gym in Shamli. According to reports, four assailants travelling on two motorcycles allegedly opened fire on the singer as he left the gym on August 26.

Balyan was critically injured in the attack and taken for medical treatment, but he was declared dead by doctors. The murder immediately triggered anger and grief among his family members and supporters.

Following the killing, the family demanded quick action against those responsible. The high-profile nature of the case increased public pressure on police to identify and arrest the alleged attackers.

The police investigation eventually led to the encounter involving Mohit and Sumit. According to reports, the suspects were injured during an exchange of fire with police and later died after being taken to hospital.

While the encounter was welcomed by some members of Balyan’s family as a major step, the family also stressed that other suspects remain outside police custody. His father reportedly described the development as only “half justice,” arguing that action against all those involved was necessary for the family to feel that justice had been fully delivered.

This reaction reflects the emotional reality of many families involved in high-profile criminal cases. The death of suspects may represent progress in an investigation, but it does not necessarily answer every question surrounding the crime.

For Ankit Balyan’s relatives, the most important issue now is the identification and apprehension of everyone allegedly connected with the attack. Police are continuing their search for the remaining suspects and investigating the alleged motive behind the murder.

The family is also seeking clarity about why Balyan was targeted. The investigation has attracted attention because reports have discussed possible criminal connections and other potential motives, but authorities are still working to establish the complete circumstances.

The murder of a public figure often creates intense pressure on investigating agencies. Police must not only identify the attackers but also collect sufficient evidence to establish the wider conspiracy.

The encounter has therefore become one part of a much larger investigation. The remaining stages will focus on tracing other accused individuals, examining communication records, investigating possible planning and identifying anyone who may have assisted the alleged attackers.

The death of Ankit Balyan has left a deep impact on his family and fans. His supporters continue to follow every development in the case, while his family waits for the investigation to reach its conclusion.

The latest encounter may have provided a major breakthrough, but the family’s message is clear: the case will remain incomplete until all those allegedly responsible for the murder are identified and dealt with according to the law.
