Dehradun police have arrested 2 men in connection with a cash theft reported from a house in Patel Nagar. The arrests followed an investigation that used CCTV footage from the area, verification of people previously linked to theft cases and information from police informers.

The case was registered after Chandramohan, a resident of Sanskriti Lok Colony in Patel Nagar, approached Patel Nagar police on 5 November 2026. He reported that unidentified thieves had entered his house and taken cash.

Police registered a case under Crime Number 851/26 and Section 305(A) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS). A special team was formed to investigate the incident and identify those responsible.

How the police traced the suspects

Investigators examined CCTV cameras installed at and around the reported crime scene. They also collected information about suspects who had appeared in earlier theft investigations and conducted physical verification, according to police.

The informer network was activated as part of the investigation. Based on leads developed during these checks, police arrested the 2 accused in the Patel Nagar area on 7 November 2026.

The arrested men were identified as Himanshu, 28, son of late Raj Kumar, and Rahul Sanwal, 28, son of Bhupendra Sanwal. Police gave their addresses as Ward Number 9, near the Biscuit Factory, Teda Road, Lakhanpur, Ramnagar, Nainital, and near Chungi, Lakhanpur, Ramnagar, Nainital, respectively.

The police action was carried out as part of an अभियान directed by the Dehradun senior superintendent of police against people targeting houses. The available information confirms the arrests and the registered case, but does not provide a verified recovery amount or further details about the alleged stolen cash.

The case remains a police investigation. The arrests do not by themselves establish guilt, which must be determined through the legal process.
