2 booked for seven snatchings in Zirakpur
The police have booked two youths for their alleged involvement in at least seven snatching incidents, including one that took place during a programme attended by Dera Bassi MLA Kuljit Singh Randhawa.
The police recovered gold chains worth Rs 12 lakh and a motorcycle allegedly used by the suspects, an officer said.
The suspects have been identified as Gursewak Singh and Akashdeep Singh.
According to the police, the duo had allegedly snatched a 25-gram gold chain from a woman during the MLA’s event around two-and-a-half months ago.
In the latest incident, reported on September 2, Lohgarh Road resident Nirmal Rani told the police that two bike-borne youths snatched her gold chain while she was buying vegetables.
As the suspects tried to flee, she raised an alarm, following which local residents caught them on VIP Road and thrashed them before handing them over to the police.
