Police on Saturday claimed to have arrested a gangster and one of his accomplices within hours of robbing a motorcycle from a youth and cash from an employee of a liquor shop.

SP (Investigation) Balraj Singh said last evening police were informed that three youths had robbed one Rohit Kumar of his motorcycle at gunpoint near Bakhlor village.

Later they were also informed that some robbers had looted Rs 27,000 cash from an employee of a liquor shop in Chahal Khurd.

Late into the night, when a police team signalled three motorbike-borne youth to stop near Chakdana, they tried to speed away, he said.

Following a chase, during which the three fired on the police, two of the accused were arrested and the third managed to flee, the police officer said, adding two pistols, 10 cartridges, Rs 27,000 in cash and the motorcycle were seized from them.

The accused were identified as Harpinderjit Singh, a resident of Jindowal, and Manjit Singh, a resident of Krishna Nagar in Banga, he said.

Their third accomplice who managed to flee in the cover of darkness has been identified as Gaurav, the SP said.

As many as 12 cases of murder, attempt to murder, drugs smuggling and loot are registered against Harpinderjit Singh in different police stations. Efforts are on to nab the third accused, he said. — PTI
