Farmer robbed of car by 3 miscreants

Three miscreants dressed as Nihangs threatened a farmer with sharp weapons and took away his Maruti Suzuki Alto car near Sangowal village on Tuesday.

After receiving information, the Morado police reached the scene and started investigation. Manmohan Singh of Sangowal said on Tuesday morning, when he was going to his fields in his car, three miscreants dressed as Nihangs signalled him to stop. Thinking that they would need some help, he stopped the car. Following which, the miscreants pointed a sharp weapon at his neck and asked him to give keys of the vehicle. On resisting their move, the suspects threatened to kill him. Afterwards, he gave them the keys. The suspects fled the scene with the car. Later, he informed the police and lodged a complaint.

SI Tarsem Singh, in-charge of the Morado police post, said the police registered an FIR against the unidentified suspects and formed teams to search for them. The police in neighbouring districts were also alerted.

Earlier this month, three miscreants on a bike looted a Brezza car at gunpoint from a resident on the Sahnewal-Dehlon road. The miscreants fired two shots in the air to threaten car occupants before fleeing. In December last year, two car snatching incidents occurred. In the first incident occurred near Rajguru Nagar T-point, miscreants had robbed a man of his car at gunpoint. In the other incident, a car was looted from a teacher.
