Mumbai Police Detection Unit

The Mumbai Police Detection Unit was a squad within the Mumbai Police which contained several high-profile officers. The squad primarily dealt with members of the Mumbai underworld and other criminal gangs.

The Unit was also colloquially known as the "Encounter Squad" because of its involvement in encounter killings – a euphemistic term for extrajudicial killings committed by police officers.
