Police Uncover Earring Looting Case, Three Accused Apprehended
The Baradari Police Station in Bareilly has cracked the case of an earring theft that occurred on September 9th, arresting three accused individuals. The breakthrough came on September 15th during an encounter near the FCI godown on Bharatpur Road.
During the exchange of fire, one accused was injured, while his two accomplices were apprehended at the scene. The incident transpired as Poonam, a resident of Sanjay Nagar, was traveling to Hari Mandir in Model Town with her daughter. At that moment, assailants on a motorcycle snatched her earrings.
Encounter and Arrest
The police had been actively searching for the robbers since the incident. This success was achieved during a special cordon operation. While checking for suspicious vehicles, police attempted to stop three accused individuals. They tried to flee, prompting the police to fire in self-defense.
The injured accused, identified as Ajay Mishra, was immediately admitted to the district hospital. His two associates, Pintu Mishra and Tarun, were also arrested on the spot. According to police reports, the encounter occurred as the accused were passing by the FCI godown on Bharatpur Road.
Upon suspicion, the police signaled them to stop, but they did not comply and attempted to escape, even firing at the police. In response, the police fired back. Ajay Mishra is stable at the district hospital after receiving initial treatment. The other two arrested accused, Pintu Mishra and Tarun, are currently in police custody and undergoing interrogation.
Recovery and Criminal History
The police recovered two looted earrings, two illegal pistols, ammunition, and the number-plate-less Pulsar motorcycle used in the crime from the arrested accused. Legal proceedings have been initiated against all of them.
Preliminary interrogations suggest that all three apprehended individuals have prior involvement in criminal activities, with suspicions of previous cases of theft and robbery. The police are now questioning them about other incidents to uncover any unresolved cases.
The Superintendent of Police (City) stated that detailed interrogations are underway to determine if their motive was solely to loot the earrings or if it was part of a larger plan. The police team had been actively working based on clues from the crime scene and information from informants.
