Several teams have been formed to search for the absconding accused in the robbery of Rs16 lakh from a city-based trader on December 4 near Old Jail area. Two accused were nabbed and Rs12.75 lakh was recovered, but the two main accused went absconding and are still at large.
Additional SP Rajesh Bhadoria said that teams formed have raided several places in Sagar and Sehore where the possibility of finding the accused was higher but still they are at large. However, he claimed that they would be nabbed soon.
During the investigation police arrested two miscreants and recovered Rs12 lakh from their possession.
Notably, the victim Gaurav Agrawal was robbed on his way to home by bike-borne miscreants and the mastermind of the robbery was an employee who used to work for the victim and was aware that the victim used to carry the money collected during the day.
At the time of the incident the victim Gaurav Agrawal was carrying Rs16 lakh and to distract him the bike-borne miscreants hit his car and when he stopped to check the car, miscreants robbed him at gun point and fled away with the bag carrying Rs16 lakh.
The four accused were identified as Dinesh Prajapati, Raju alias Rajendra Prajapati, Girish Pamnani, Raju Pamnani. Dinesh used to work for the victim and was the mastermind behind the robbery.
Rajendra Prajapati and Girish Pamnani have been arrested while Dinesh Prajapati and Raju Pamnani are still absconding. Police found that except the main accused the three accused used to work as auto rickshaw drivers.
The registration number of the motorbike used by miscreants helped in nabbing the accused and based on the registration number police were able to trace two miscreants while two managed to escape.
