Times News Network
Ludhiana: A month after a trader was robbed of his sedan, the police on Thursday booked four accused, including two sisters.
The victim has been identified as Kunal Dev Malhotra, 36, of Dugri Phase 3, and the accused as Gurdeep Kaur, her sister Sinki of Gaushala Road, Paramjit Singh of Islam Ganj and Surinder Kumar of Kot Alamgir.
Kunal, a computer software and hardware businessman, said in his police complaint, “As I was keen to sell my sedan, Gurdeep, an acquaintance, assured help. On July 15, Gurdeep called me to Dugri Road, saying a man wanted to buy my sedan. When I reached there, Gurdeep, Sinki and two men — Paramjit and Surinder — were waiting for me. Gurdeep said the two men were her uncles.”
The accused sought a test drive.
“We all sat in the sedan, with Paramjit at the wheel. He drove the car to an isolated place near Southern Bypass. There, they thrashed me, snatched my wallet, which contained Rs 40,000, the sedan RC and other documents, threw me out of the moving sedan and sped away,” he added.
Model Town police station ASI Avtar Singh said, “The incident took place on July 15, but Kunal approached the police on Thursday as earlier the two parties were trying to strike a compromise. A case has been registered under sections 379-B (snatching) and 34 (act done by several persons in furtherance of common intention) of the IPC against the accused.”
