उत्तराखंड/ देहरादूनः बजरंग दल की आड़ में लूट जिहाद एक और लूटेरा सिद्धार्थ बडौनी दल के गैंग के साथ मिलकर प्रॉपर्टी डीलर से 14 लाख लूटकर फरार, हुआ गिरफ्तार
The police have arrested several individuals in connection with a daylight robbery of Rs 14 lakh in Dehradun, the capital of Uttarakhand. The revelations that have emerged during the investigation are quite startling. It is reported that Siddhant Badoni, who is associated with the Bajrang Dal, is also implicated in the case. The police stated that three individuals linked to a right-wing ideology have been arrested for the robbery, which targeted a property dealer in Dehradun. Last Saturday, six young men intercepted a property dealer named Rajesh while he was on his way to finalize a land deal; they robbed him of his cash and fled the scene.
Accused linked to Bajrang Dal
According to the police, it was a property dealer named Dinesh Tiwari who provided the accused with information about the cash. The police have recovered Rs 1.5 lakh. Among the suspects, Siddhant Badoni, Kartik Bhatia, and Deepak Shekhawat remain at large. Police officer Ankit Kandari stated that those arrested are affiliated with a right-wing group, whose members frequently post videos on social media against ‘Love Jihad’.
How the robbery took place
According to reports, five to six assailants surrounded a vehicle near Indresh Hospital, within the jurisdiction of the Patel Nagar police station. Rajesh Kumar Soni was in the vehicle along with three of his associates. Rajesh was returning with Rs 14 lakh in cash following a land deal when the attackers—riding motorcycles and an Activa scooter—assaulted them, seized a bag full of cash from the back seat of the vehicle, and fled. Given the gravity of the situation, the SSP of Dehradun formed several specialized police teams to investigate.
Four suspects still at large
With the help of CCTV footage and an informant network, the police arrested Sarvjit Singh (alias Happy), Jasmeet Singh, and Shakti Singh. During interrogation, it was revealed that Dinesh Tiwari was an acquaintance of the accused. They were already aware that a large sum of cash was being brought for a land deal. The robbery was planned based on this information. The police have recovered 1.5 lakh rupees from the accused. While raids are being conducted to locate four other suspects, the police have already arrested Sarvjit Singh, Jasmeet Singh, and Shakti Singh; meanwhile, Siddhant Badoni, Kartik Bhatia, and Deepak Shekhawat remain at large, and the police are actively searching for them. It is reported that all of them are members of the Bajrang Dal.
