Two held for robbing Dhanas resident

Chandigarh, July 29

Three days after two miscreants allegedly attacked and robbed a Dhanas resident, the UT police nabbed the duo, including Vishal, a history-sheeter who has 31 cases registered against him in Chandigarh.

The victim, Yogesh, had reported that on July 25, he was having a walk near his house when his neighbour, Vishal, threatened him with a knife and snatched his mobile phone. In the meantime, the second suspect, Kali, reached there and snatched Rs700 and an Aadhaar card from him. The suspects then escaped from the spot after pelting the victim with stones, who was later admitted to Government Multi-Specialty Hospital (GMSH), Sector 16.
