2 youths snatch bike at gunpoint at Nakodar bus stand
The police said the accused were passengers who had got down at the bus stand
Two youths allegedly snatched a motorbike at gunpoint from two men in the middle of the crowded Nakodar bus stand last evening.
The accused also allegedly fired shots in the air and fled with the Splendour bike. The victims have been identified as Prince and Sushant, both residents of Nakodar, aged 25 and 19.
An estimated over 100 persons were present at the bus stand when the incident happened on Thursday evening. Panicked passengers scurried for cover as shots suddenly rung the bus stand.
The police said the accused were passengers who had got down at the bus stand some time ago. While the attackers are yet to be identified, the police said CCTV footage is being verified to ascertain their identity.
A case has been registered under Section 379, and other requisite sections of the BNS at the Nakodar city police station.
The Nakodar SHO said, "The men who fired the shots had got down at the bus stand a while ago, before they carried out the crime. When they tried to snatch the vehicle, they faced resistance, which is when they fired the shots. No one was injured in the incident. CCTV footage of the bus stand is being explored to identify them."
