Two weeks after a 42-year-old Mumbai-based businessman was robbed of his Mercedes car near Nada Sahib gurdwara on July 1, Panchkula police have cracked the case with the arrest of the mastermind. Two other accused, Sukhjeet Singh, 33, from Hoshiarpur, Punjab, and Sukhbir Singh, 29, from Kiratpur, Rupnagar, were already arrested on July 7. (HT) Identified as Dara Singh, hailing from Rupnagar, Punjab, he has a significant criminal history, with 32 cases in Punjab and Himachal Pradesh, including charges of attempt to murder, robbery, Arms Act and Gangster Act, shared DCP (Crime) Amit Dahiya. Two other accused, Sukhjeet Singh, 33, from Hoshiarpur, Punjab, and Sukhbir Singh, 29, from Kiratpur, Rupnagar, were already arrested on July 7. Further interrogation led to the arrest of the mastermind from Punjab, he said. On the night of July 1, the victim, Aarif Sheikh, was driving his 2014 model Mercedes car from Nada Sahib Road towards Peer Muchalla. He was suddenly intercepted by a car near Peer Baba Dargah, Sector 3. The three car occupants, who claimed to be cops, and appeared to be under the influence of alcohol, began searching his vehicle. The trio then threatened Sheikh with a pistol, forced him into the backseat of their car, and robbed him of his Mercedes, two mobile phones, a gold chain and wrist watch. The accused reportedly drove Sheikh around nearby areas for some time before abandoning him near a toll plaza on the Panchkula-Shimla highway and making off with his Mercedes. Following the arrest of the three accused, police have recovered the Mercedes, the Honda Amaze car used in the crime, a gold chain, two iPhones, a watch worth ₹2.5 lakh, Apple earbuds and a dummy pistol. DCP Dahiya stated that the accused had previously served jail time together and were currently out on bail. Their motive was to quickly sell the stolen property, but police foiled their plans. The police are now investigating their links to other crimes in Haryana and possible involvement in incidents across other states.

Mumbai doctor who jumped into sea from Atal Setu was depressed after lover's family opposed their marriage: police
A doctor, who allegedly jumped into the sea from Sewri-Nhava Sea Link Atal Setu Monday night, was in depression after the family of a doctor he was in a relationship with, opposed their decision to marry, the Navi Mumbai police have found in their preliminary inquiry.

The two were planning to get married soon'. 'But, around a month ago, the family of the woman doctor refused to accept their love relationship, and said no to their marriage plan.

Dr Kavitake, who lived in the Kalamboli area along with his mother, called his mother Monday night, saying he was coming home for dinner. However, he instead left for Mumbai in his Honda Amaze and stopped on the Sewri-Nhava Sheva Sea-Link, where he was seen by a motorist. He allegedly jumped into the sea from the bridge at around 9.26 pm. A motorist who had spotted him informed the control room, and a police team arrived at the scene to find his car and a phone inside. From the phone, the police could identify him, and inform his family members. No letter was found inside the doctor's car, said the police. The police, along with the marine police, have been searching for Dr Kavitake in the sea with the help of patrolling boats since Sunday morning. 'We have informed police stations alongside the coastal area, fishermen, and local villagers to alert us if they spot a body,' said Arjun Rajane, Senior Inspector, Ulwe Police Station. The police have so far only made a diary entry.
