When they reached near Indian Oil Depot at Vidisha road three motorbike-borne youths intercepted the car and snatched the bag carrying Rs3.50 lakh which was with Satyanarayan Rathi who was on the back seat of the car.

The victims lodged a complaint with the Gautam Nagar police and during the investigation it was found that Pappu alias Haseen Saeed, Ajju alias Azam and Khalid were involved in the crime.After the confirmation miscreants were searched in MP Nagar, TT Nagar and Panchsheel and one of the accused Pappu alias Haseen was successfully nabbed.

Pappu alias Haseen Qureshi (22) confessed the crime and told that his two accomplices are Ajju alias Azam Khan and Khalid. Police said that the two were searched but it is possible that they got information about the arrest of Pappu and escaped.

Ajju is a resident of Betul and has been booked for around 20 cases of theft, extortion, bullying, illegal possessions and trading of weapons and liquor. Khalid Ali is a resident of Nariyalkheda and has been booked for serious offences of attempt to murder and trading of illegal arms.
