Ramgarh (Jharkhand), Apr 24 (PTI) Jharkhand Police has arrested seven interstate criminals, including two women, in connection with the jewellery shop heist and recovered looted gold and silver ornaments along with weapons and vehicles, officials said on Friday.
Ramgarh SP Mukesh Kumar Lunayat told reporters that the arrested accused were involved in the robbery at a jewellery shop located on Ramgarh-Bokaro National Highway-23 in Chitarpur under Rajrappa police station limits on Tuesday.
He said villagers had earlier caught two of the five fleeing miscreants and handed them over to police after assaulting them. A case was registered based on a complaint by shop owner Vishnu Prasad under relevant sections of the BNS and Arms Act.
“The SIT led by Deputy Superintendent of Police Chandan Kumar Vats conducted raids at multiple locations and recovered looted gold and silver ornaments. Police also seized a seven-seater car, two motorcycles, one scooter, one pistol and three live cartridges used in the crime,” the SP said.
The arrested include Subhani Ansari (46) and Anand Kumar (28), who were initially caught by villagers and later handed over to police.
The remaining accused — Manish Kumar (39), Reena Devi (35) and Chandrawati Devi (55), all from Nalanda in Bihar, along with Arbaz Ansari and Nasrullah Ansari from Ranchi — were also arrested during subsequent operations, he said. PTI CORR ANB MNB
