The city police have arrested two robbers who had barged into a house and looted a family on February 27. They were identified as Paramjit Singh, alias Deputy of Kale village, and Iqbal Singh of Naraingarh area.
The police have recovered the snatched mobile phone and two bikes from their possession. Additional Deputy Commissioner of Police Prabhjot Singh Virk said Jasbir Singh, a resident of Ashiana Enclave in Khandwala area, had lodged a complaint with the police on February 26 at around 10.30 pm that he along with his family members was present in the house when four unidentified persons entered and one of them pointed a pistol at them.
