Chandigarh, April 19

Two days after the owner of Gopal Sweets, Sharanjeet Singh, reported the second loot from him within 15 months, the police have cracked the case. One person has been arrested in the case from Kaimbwala, while sources said a total of three suspects had been picked up.

The police had obtained the footage of CCTV cameras installed around the spot in Sector 8 and had been scrutinising it. Multiple angles of images of the accused via video footage were obtained. They zeroed in on a few suspects. The mobile tower location dump data was also scrutinised to verify the presence of the suspects in the area. This, coupled with the video footage of the preceding days to check the presence of the suspects, who conducted a recce of the area, helped the police.

In January 2017, Singh had reported a similar incident. He had claimed that a bag containing Rs 4.75 lakh was snatched from him at Sector 11. The accused in that case are still to be arrested. It is suspected the same accused could be involved in the latest incident also as the modus operandi was similar.

Around 9.20 pm on Tuesday, three Activa-borne miscreants sped away after snatching a bag containing Rs 6.25 lakh from the owner of Gopal Sweets in Sector 8. In the latest incident, the owner was about to sit in his Mercedes car when a man snatched the bag after spraying chilli powder in the eye of the guard.
