The arrests were made during a routine patrol by the Crime Branch Team near Balton Park, where two unregistered Activa scooters carrying the suspects were intercepted.

Commissioner of Police Swapan Sharma revealed that stolen items, including four mobile phones, a laptop and scooters, were recovered during the operation. The suspects, identified as Munish Kumar, alias Monu, Ajay Kumar, Ravi Kumar, alias Ravi, and Nitish Kumar, alias Nitish, were found to be targeting unsuspecting citizens in snatching activities.

Preliminary investigations have linked Ravi Kumar to prior criminal activity, with two cases already registering against him. The group’s involvement in other crimes is under scrutiny.

An FIR was registered on December 29 at Police Station Division Number 1 under various sections of the BNS Act and further investigation in the case is underway, said police officials.

“This arrest sends a clear message that criminal activities will not be tolerated in Jalandhar,” said Swapan Sharma, adding that, “We are committed to ensuring public safety and will take all necessary measures to protect our citizens and uphold law and order.”
