Around a fortnight after four robbers had looted a bag of ornaments after firing on the person who was carrying it in Rishikesh, Dehradun police claimed to have cracked the case with the arrest of all the four involved in it from Delhi in Dehradun on Wednesday. The accused have been identified as Rupkishore Rastogi, native of Delhi, Satendra Rastogi, native of Ghaziabad, Sumit Rastogi, native of Delhi and Saurabh Rastogi, resident of Rishikesh.
The police recovered 327.5 grams gold, six kg silver and cash of `8.61 lakh from their possession. Notably, three bike-borne criminals had snatched the bag with ornaments from the person who worked for a jeweler on October 12.
As he had resisted one of the criminals had fired at him, leaving him injured. Police had later seized the firearm, a country-made pistol, used in the crime right from the spot.
