Delhi man claims he was stabbed and robbed of Rs 13 lakh, arrested for cover-up
A robbery case that initially appeared to be a brazen daylight heist took an unexpected turn when the Delhi Police discovered that it was a meticulously staged act, allegedly orchestrated by the complainant himself. The accused and his associate were arrested, and the entire stolen amount of Rs 13 lakh was recovered, the police said on Friday. The incident was reported on Thursday when a call was received about a robbery involving a substantial sum of money, the police said. The complainant, Subhash Chand, 22, who works as an accountant at a trading company, claimed that he had withdrawn Rs 13 lakh from a bank and was subsequently robbed on a flyover by six unidentified men on three motorcycles. He alleged that the assailants stabbed him and fled with the cash. 'During the investigation, CCTV cameras were analysed, but no suspicious bikes were seen chasing the inquiry revealed that the complainant's injuries appeared superficial and inconsistent with being caused by a knife. Upon sustained interrogation, Chand broke down and confessed to the crime,' Sukant S Ballabh, Additional Deputy Commissioner of Police, West, said. Chand allegedly admitted that he had planned the staged robbery with his friend Vijaypal, 26. According to the police, Chand, who has been employed at the trading company for two years, was reportedly under immense financial pressure after losing Rs 30 lakh in gambling. In a desperate bid to recover his losses and repay the borrowed stake money, he allegedly concocted the plan to embezzle Rs 13 lakh from the company and cover it up as a robbery. According to his alleged confession, Chand withdrew the cash from the bank and handed it over to Vijaypal at Rajouri Garden Metro Station. Vijaypal then escaped using a Rapido bike service, reached Dhaula Kuan, and took a bus to his native village, the police said.

A court in Muzaffarnagar district has sentenced five men to life imprisonment for the murder of a former village head, Mangeram, who was shot dead and set ablaze in a field in Aharoda village in 2021.

The court also imposed a fine of ₹ 40,000 on each convict. (For representation) The incident occurred on July 15, 2021, in Aharoda village under the jurisdiction of Jansath police station in Muzaffarnagar. Mangeram, who had previously served as the village pradhan, was working in his field when he was shot dead and his body was later set afire by the accused. The convicted individuals include Vijaypal, son of Jabarsingh; Nish alias Ajit and Ankur, both sons of Vijaypal; Govinda, son of Ajaypal, all residents of Aharoda village; and Saurabh, a resident of Dhansari village under Kakaroli police station area.

In addition to the life sentences, each convict was fined ₹ 40,000, district government counsel Rajeev Sharma confirmed. 'Investigations revealed that the murder was a calculated act of revenge rooted in a decades-old enmity. Several years ago, Mangeram had allegedly been involved in the killing of Jabarsingh, the grandfather of some of the accused. The 2021 attack was orchestrated to settle the scores. Mangeram's son, Yudhveer, had lodged a complaint with police, prompting a swift investigation. The police arrested the accused and submitted a charge sheet, which formed the basis of the prosecution's case,' additional district government counsel (ADGC) Kamal Kumar said. During the trial, government counsels presented evidence and witness testimonies. The defence also put forth its arguments, but the court concluded that the accused were 'guilty beyond reasonable doubt'. 'On the basis of the evidence available on record, the court on Monday sentenced all five to life imprisonment. They had earlier managed to secure bail. Following court orders, they were taken into custody and sent to jail,' the ADGC said.
