2 accused arrested in a 14 lakh rupees robbery case in Dehradun were walked to court after the police vehicle carrying them developed a technical fault on the way.
The accused were identified as Bajrang Dal leader Siddhant Badoni and his associate Deepak Singh Shekhawat. Patel Nagar police were taking them to court in connection with the 7 November robbery reported near Indresh Hospital.
Vehicle left behind during court transfer
Police reportedly left the disabled vehicle on the roadside because the accused had to be presented within the court schedule. Officers then took both men to court on foot and completed the hearing.
After the appearance, the police vehicle was repaired and brought to the court. The 2 accused were then placed in the vehicle and sent to jail.
The case concerns the disappearance of a bag containing 14 lakh rupees from a vehicle outside Indresh Hospital, in the Patel Nagar police station area. The complainant, a resident of Haripur Kalan in Motichur, reported the incident to Patel Nagar police.
A case was registered naming Siddhant Badoni and 2 associates, along with other unidentified people. Police began searching for those involved and arrested 3 accused within 24 hours, according to the report.
CCTV footage shows alleged robbery method
CCTV footage linked to the incident shows 2 scooter riders apparently falling after colliding with the complainant’s vehicle. Other members of the group, who were already nearby, then approached the fallen riders.
The complainant is shown getting out of the vehicle to check on the 2 men. During that moment, one person allegedly goes to the vehicle, opens its rear door and removes the bag without attracting attention.
The person then leaves the spot. After the situation appears to return to normal, the complainant gets back into the vehicle and discovers that the bag is missing. The complaint to Patel Nagar police followed.
The court appearance relates to the robbery allegations, and the 2 men remain accused in the case. The available report does not provide details of any court finding on the allegations.
