Two men allegedly involved in several cases of robbing people after distracting them through arguments have been arrested, police said on Tuesday.
“On March 18 a trap was laid for the accused Manish alias Golu and Ankit at T-Point of Shiv Mandir Road-Rohtak Road in Madipur. As expected they landed in it at around 3 PM,” said Vijay Kumar, deputy commissioner of police (West). Two stolen two-wheelers have also been recovered. Explaining the modus operandi, the officer said, “The accused deliberately collided with people coming out of banks, ATMs or markets and pick up an argument with an aim to distract their attention. Meanwhile, the duo would steal money purses from the target and flee away on stolen motorcycles.” During the interrogation, the accused confessed for their involvement in several other cases, said the officer.
Kumar said the investigation is on to nab other associates of the duo.
