Villagers help police arrest cable thief
Nawanshahr, June 21 SSP Narinder Bhargav, while lauding the gesture of the residents of Naura village, told mediapersons here today that the Sadar police station received a phone call from Malkeet Singh of Naura village at 2.30 am in the morning that village residents had been keeping a vigil on the electricity transformers and cables to check the growing incidents of theft. During patrolling they saw some cut pieces of the cable near the cold storage and about seven-eight miscreants had been loading cables on their Tata 407 and a Qualis on the Banga-Garhshanker road. On seeing the villagers, the miscreants fled in their vehicle. However, the villagers followed them in their own vehicle. Having got the information, the police immediately sprung into action and succeeded in intercepting the Qualis at Bsardhana village near Samrala in Ludhiana district. While one of the accused identified as Lakhwinder Singh, alias Lakha, of Jalandhar was nabbed with the help of the people, his accomplice Pal of Jalandhar managed to escape. “The modus operandi of the gang is that they travel in their car during daytime to identify the site from where the cables can be cut and stolen easily. Then during the night they cut the cable and load it in the Tata 407 and sell the same at the rate of Rs 4,800 per quintal in Jalandhar,” said Bhargav adding that the police had registered a case under Section 379. |
