Caught on Camera: Hospital Nurse-Turned-Fugitive Adil Saifi Shot, Arrested After Viral Sexual Assault Video Rocks Moradabad

Life takes unexpected turns, sometimes veering into the darkest corners of our society. The story of Adil Saifi is a grim example. Once a nursing staff member at a local hospital, Adil’s life spiraled into crime—and was dramatically cut short by the very community he once served, all because of a harrowing viral video.

The Shocking Incident

On August 3rd, an unsettling video began circulating from Moradabad, a city in Uttar Pradesh. The footage was grainy but clear enough to capture a woman’s ordeal. Dressed in a burqa, she walked along a seemingly ordinary street, unaware of the threat looming behind her. In the video, a young man in a black t-shirt follows her. Suddenly, the man lunges, grabs her from behind, and sexually assaults her. The woman fights back, desperately trying to escape, but the attacker persists before fleeing the scene.

The video, quickly picked up by social media users and local news, erupted in outrage, demanding quick justice. The police launched an urgent investigation as community anger mounted.

Police Investigation and Breakthrough

Soon after the video went viral, Moradabad police identified the suspect as Adil Saifi, a resident of Umri in the jurisdiction of Thana Kat. His background was surprising: Adil was working as a nursing staff in a local hospital—a position associated with care and trust.

The following day, on August 4th, police officers embarked on a public awareness drive about drone usage and burglary rumors near Tat Baba temple in the Nagfani area. As they wrapped up their event and prepared to return to the police station, a suspicious individual on a motorcycle without a license plate caught their eye. When the police signaled him to stop, he dramatically sped up, trying to evade them.

A chase ensued. In his panic, the man lost control, and his bike skidded near the Chandmari Ghat area. With no escape, he drew a firearm and opened fire at the officers, leaving no doubt about his desperation. The police retaliated, and a bullet hit the suspect’s left leg. He was swiftly subdued and taken to the hospital for treatment.

The Shocking Confession

While undergoing medical care under police watch, the man confirmed his identity—it was indeed Adil Saifi, the same individual seen in the viral video committing the assault on August 3rd. The police searched him and his belongings, recovering a country-made 315 bore pistol, a live cartridge, a spent shell, and the abandoned, unregistered motorcycle.

During initial interrogation, Adil confessed everything. He said he recognized the police presence and panicked, believing they had come to arrest him for the incident captured on video. This fear triggered his attempted escape and subsequent violence.

Details Emerge: A Repeat Offender

The case took an even more disturbing turn as further investigation revealed that Adil was not a first-time offender. Additional evidence—including another older video—surfaced, showing Adil assaulting another burqa-clad woman using similar tactics. This brazen behavior, and his confidence in eluding punishment previously, points to a deeper, troubling pattern.

Authorities in Moradabad confirmed that both videos featured Adil Saifi and acknowledged that he had previously committed sexual assaults on women, targeting those he believed to be vulnerable and less likely to report the crime.

Official Statement and Next Steps

Moradabad’s SP City, Ranvijay Singh, issued a statement confirming the suspect’s identity and sequence of events. He highlighted how the public awareness campaign inadvertently intersected with Adil’s escape, resulting in his quick apprehension:

“We were conducting community outreach and educating locals about drone activity and thefts when our team spotted a suspicious biker without a number plate. His erratic behavior and frantic escape led us to pursue him. After he attacked our team, necessary action was taken, and he is now under medical care. During questioning, Adil admitted to fleeing out of fear of being caught for the previous night’s sexual assault.”

With assault charges already filed (FIR registered), police are now extending their investigation, probing other unsolved cases that may link back to Adil. They also urged the public to come forward if they suspect they or someone they know has been victimized by Adil’s predatory acts.

The Power of Social Media and Vigilance

This incident underlines two crucial aspects of modern justice: the power of social media to expose crimes (even when authorities fail or victims stay silent), and the effectiveness of proactive, community-based policing. The viral video not only sparked outrage but compelled immediate police action that led to the perpetrator’s capture within a day.

For Moradabad and the wider community, the episode serves as a somber warning about predators hiding in plain sight. But it is also a reminder that vigilance—by both the public and law enforcement—can deliver justice, even in cases where hope seems fleeting.

Conclusion

As Adil Saifi recovers from his police encounter in the hospital, the law gears up to keep him from harming others ever again. The investigation continues, with authorities committed to ensuring that every victim receives justice and that such crimes never go unchecked.
