Amritsar, February 21

The Kamboh police have booked a girl and her boyfriend for allegedly robbing a tutor in Madan Lal Dhingra Colony located on Ram Tirath Road here.

The complainant, Deepika Sharma (23), alleged that the accused robbed her gold ear rings, Rs 10,000 cash and a pair of tops by brandishing a sharp-edged weapon. Both are absconding. The police have registered a case in this regard.

According to police, her friend was identified as Suneha, a resident of Kot Khasa area, who was accompanied by an unknown youth during the incident.

The victim told the police that at around 3.30pm on Tuesday, she was alone in the house when Suneha along with a youth came to her house. She alleged that the youth put a knife on her neck and threatened to hand over whatever she had. Suneha took out his ear rings and the cash from her purse. The youth broke the locks of the trunk and took out a pair of tops before fleeing.

ASI Manjit Singh, investigating officer in the case, said the police were analyzing the closed-circuit television (CCTV) cameras in the area, but due to its poor quality it was of no use for the police. “The accused could be seen in the CCTV footage, but the picture became blurred when expanded, creating proper identification problem,” he said, while adding that a probe was on.
