Dehradun police have made startling revelations in connection with a brazen daylight robbery involving Rs 14 lakh in the capital of Uttarakhand. Investigations into the high-profile case have revealed the alleged involvement of individuals associated with right-wing organizations, including Bajrang Dal. The incident has drawn significant public attention as the suspects, who frequently position themselves as protectors of traditional values through social media content targeting issues like Love Jihad, found themselves on the wrong side of the law. Law enforcement agencies have already apprehended multiple suspects while intensified operations are underway to track down the remaining individuals involved.
How The Robbery Took Place
According to official police reports, the targeted crime occurred near the Indresh Hospital area within the Patelnagar police station jurisdiction. A property dealer named Rajesh Kumar Sony, along with three of his associates, was traveling in a vehicle to finalize a significant land deal. They were carrying Rs 14 lakh in cash for the transaction when a group of five to six assailants arriving on motorcycles and Activa scooters intercepted their vehicle. The attackers physically assaulted the occupants and made off with a bag filled with the cash that was kept on the rear seat. The sheer audacity of the daylight heist sent shockwaves through the local business community.
Police Investigation And Initial Arrests
Recognizing the gravity of the crime, the Senior Superintendent of Police formed multiple dedicated investigation teams. Authorities utilized extensive CCTV footage analysis and local intelligence networks to track down the perpetrators. Through these concerted efforts, police successfully arrested Sarvjeet Singh alias Happy, Jasmit Singh, and Shakti Singh. Subsequent interrogation of the suspects uncovered that another property dealer, Dinesh Tiwari, served as an insider who tipped off the gang. Tiwari was acquainted with the accused and possessed prior knowledge that a large sum of cash was being transported for the property transaction, thereby facilitating the criminal plot.
