Sufiyan received a bullet injury in the leg when the police opened fire to stop him from fleeing.
The encounter took place in Dubagga area in Lucknow and ACP D.K. Singh led the police team.
Earlier this week, Sufiyan allegedly threw the victim off the fourth floor because she refused to convert to Islam and marry him.
