Murder Case: One Accused Arrested by Special Detective Unit
The Special Detective Unit made progress in a murder investigation by arresting one of the key accused.
DSP Bir Bhan reported that Aman from Choushala village filed a complaint. A year ago, Aman and his friends Kulbir and Mohit had a scuffle on a bus with residents of Balu village, including Vicky, Aman (not the complainant), and Mitha. Tension continued between the groups.
On May 1st, Aman and Kulbir were heading to their village from the Kaithal market when the accused blocked their path near the railway gate. Armed with knives and knuckle dusters, the attackers included residents of Balu and Khark.
Aman managed to flee, but Kulbir was brutally stabbed. He was first taken to Shah Hospital, then referred to another facility. Tragically, he died en route to Hisar due to severe injuries.
The police filed a murder case at the City Police Station. SI Ramesh Chand and his team arrested Jaiprakash alias JP of Khark Pandwa. He confessed to the crime, admitting the attack was revenge for the past conflict.
The accused was presented in court and remanded to three days of police custody. Authorities are working to apprehend the other suspects soon.
โน14.55 Lakh Cyber Fraud: Second Accused Nabbed
In a major cybercrime investigation, the Cyber Crime Unit arrested a second suspect in a โน14.55 lakh gift voucher scam.
PSI Shubhranshu and SI Ravindra Singhโs team led the operation. The initial complaint was filed by Nishant from Amargarh Gamdi. Nishant owns a mobile store under the name M.S. JMC Traders on Devigarh Road.
He shared that he often used gift vouchers to buy phones online for discounts. On January 18, 2024, while searching for sellers on IndiaMart and LinkedIn, he found a profile named Sikandar. Claiming to own a firm called “Reward Future,” Sikandar offered vouchers worth โน5 lakh in exchange for โน4.85 lakh.
Trusting the offer, Nishant shared firm documents and KYC via email. From January 22 to March 17, 2024, he transferred a total of โน14.55 lakh but never received the promised vouchers.
