Nagpur: The crime branch has managed to nab Vishal Raut and Shambhu Mondal for their alleged role behind setting three cars on fire in Unthkhana in the wee hours of Sunday just to have fun under the influence of marijuana.
The duo was later handed over to the Imambada police station. The court has remanded them in police custody for two days.
The footage of the CCTV cameras of the command and control centre helped the police to track down the registration number of the mischief-mongers when they were fleeing after having set the vehicles on fire. The duo, waiters at eateries near the Ganeshpeth bus stand, are marijuana addicts. It’s learnt that they set cars with covers on fire after consuming marijuana.
They were on their owner’s two-wheeler while heading towards Chandannagar where Mondal resides. Cops had first rounded up the bike owner and after questioning him, they arrested the accused.
The accused hatched the plan to set cars afire for mere fun when they were on their way to Chandannagar. An offence was registered against Mondal and Raut at Imambada police station. CP Amitesh Kumar has intensified patrolling in the locality.
