Three officers from the Northern Range of Crime Branch, a Constable, Head Constable and a Sub-Inspector, have been sent to district lines for shielding the mastermind behind the robbery case in which a Mumbai-based diamond merchant was robbed of jewellery worth Rs 1.5 crore in Central Delhi’s DBG road area on May 14.
However, the Delhi Police denied the report and claimed it was a routine transfer. On May 14, around 8.45 pm in the congested area of Desh Bandhu Gupta Road two Mumbai-based diamond merchants’ car was intercepted near liberty Cinema by bike-borne assailants. Two of the miscreants got down from the motorcycles and one of them broke the window shield of the car. After assaulting the occupants of the car, they took away the bag containing jewellery and cash at gun point before fleeing from the scene.
