The Dehra police have successfully apprehended 10 individuals, including two women, who were part of a notorious gang of thieves operating in the Bankhandi area. This comes after a series of reported theft incidents in the vicinity, prompting the police to take action.
It has been revealed that the gang’s modus operandi involved staying in inexpensive guest houses near temples, accompanied by their families and children to avoid arousing suspicion. During the day, they would conduct surveillance on potential targets, only striking during the cover of night. To ensure their targets were fast asleep, they resorted to throwing stones using a slingshot to create disturbances. Additionally, the thieves would dress in simple attire, such as ‘kachha-baniyan’ (traditional undergarments), and apply oil or grease on their bodies. This made it easier for them to evade capture, as slipping away became effortless in case they were caught in the act.
The arrested suspects are members of the infamous Pardhi community, which has gained notoriety in several states for their involvement in house break-ins. As a result, the police believe that the recent spate of thefts in Dehra and the surrounding areas has been resolved with these arrests. In fact, the police intend to seek a five-day custody of the accused in order to recover stolen jewelry from one particular case.
Through the astute analysis of CCTV footage, a team comprising the Dehra Police Station and the Cyber Cell in Dharamsala managed to track down four individuals who had fled towards Jwalamukhi on a stolen motorcycle. Using the information gathered from the CCTV footage, the team eventually located and apprehended the suspects at the Ashish Guest House in Jwalamukhi.
Further investigation revealed that the accused individuals were originally from the Pardhi community in Madhya Pradesh. It was discovered that they had previously committed burglaries under the jurisdiction of the Jwalamukhi police station. The police were able to pinpoint the culprits based on the mobile numbers and Aadhaar card details provided during their reservation at the guest house.
The team responsible for apprehending the gang consisted of key officers, including Subdivisional Police Officer (SDPO) Anil Kumar, inspector Vijay Kumar, station in-charge of Jwalamukhi police station; inspector Surjeet Singh, station in-charge of Dehra police station; and sub-inspector Manjeet Kumar, station in-charge of Haripur police station.
This successful operation highlights the effectiveness of modern surveillance technology and the dedication of the police force in bringing criminals to justice. The arrests serve as a reminder to potential thieves that law enforcement will not hesitate to investigate, apprehend, and hold accountable those who seek to disrupt the peace and safety of our communities.
