Ludhiana, February 19

The Court of Additional Sessions Judge, Anjana, has convicted Amandeep Singh alias Noni of Mohalla Anadpuri, Noorwala Road, and Manjinder Singh alias Dhadi of Santokh Nagar, Shivpuri, Ludhiana, in a robbery case.

The duo was ordered to undergo rigorous imprisonment for seven years and Rs 2,000 fine was also imposed upon them each.

“The offence committed by the convicts is very serious. It is the duty of every court to award proper sentence having regard to the nature of offence and the manner in which it is executed or committed,” remarked the court while pronouncing the sentence.

A case against them was registered at the Basti Jodhewal police station on June 19, 2014, following the statement of Sanjeev Kumar Jain.

The complainant had stated to the police that Swatantar Kumar Jain and Dharam Parkash Jain were his younger brothers.

Dharam Parkash Jain was doing business under the name M/s Hardik Knit Craft at Noorwala Road, Ludhiana.

On that date, as routine, he left the factory on his motor cycle for taking lunch.

When Dharam Parkash Jain reached near Thamman Gas Agency, Noorwala Road, Ludhiana, around 1.20 pm the accused on a motorcycle hit his bike, due to which the former fell down.

Accused Noni, who was armed with a dagger, attacked Dharam Parkash in his chest. Dhadi, who was riding the bike, took off a gold ring and wallet containing Rs 4,000 from Dharam Parkash. The accused fled from the spot.

In order to substantiate the case, the prosecution has examined 10 witnesses.

Inspector Ranjit Singh of the anti-snatching cell and ASI Sukhwinder Singh had investigated the case and got the gold ring and found that the accused were riding the motorcycle with a fake number plate.
