The police have arrested four persons accused of robbing a scrap dealer in the Shyampur police station area of the district. The accused had robbed Rs 12,000 from dealer Mobin along with his motorcycle. Some of the money, firearms and two motorcycles used in the crime have been recovered by the police.
Police said that Mobin, a resident of Najibabad city of Uttar Pradesh, had filed a complaint regarding the robbery case in Shyampur police station on August 9. He had stated in the complaint that on August 9 he and his brother Raja were called by some people to Peeli village of Shyampur police station area on the pretext of buying scrap items. However, they took them to forest area and then beat them before robbing them of Rs 12,000 and their motorcycle.
Haridwar SP City Swatantra Kumar Singh said that within a week, the police have solved the case. The case was quite a challenge for the police as the miscreants had carried out this incident in the forest, where there was no CCTV camera installed nearby. For this reason, the police took some time to nab the accused.
Singh told that the police arrested the four accused Parvez, Saarik, Harsh and Ashutosh. Parvez is from Shyampur while the other three are from Bijnor. The police have recovered Rs 6,000 out of the robbed money along with two motorcycles used to carry out the crime. Three pistols and live cartridges and a knife were also recovered from them.
