JAIPUR: After failing to repay a loan for buying a flat, a 42-year-old woman planned a robbery and got it executed by her sons, her brother and two others. This was revealed by Jaipur police (North) on Sunday after solving the robbery case in which a armed assailants had robbed Rs 45 lakh from the office of a Hawala trader in the Walled City area on March 10.
Police said financial crisis due to lockdown forced the woman to plan a robbery and got it executed by her sons.
“Hansa Sharma’s husband was a labour contractor. However, due to lockdown when labourers migrated back to their native places, their work was badly affected. Her family had purchased a flat near Chitrakoot area of Jaipur and they were unable to replay the instalments of the loan to an extent that bank was about to attach their property,” said Paresh Deshmukh, DCP (North).
Hansa Devi herself was in a private job and was getting very less salary. “Almost 20 days ago, she through her contacts had got her son Priyanshu a job at KDF enterprises. Also Parth Vyas, the maternal uncle of Priyanshu, got the job in the same company. However, Parth was later retrenched by his employer,” Deshmukh added.
Now, to repay the loan and meet other expenses, Hansa Devi planned a robbery and urged his son Priyanshu and her brother Parth to execute it. “Parth also wanted to take revenge from his employer who had sacked him some days ago. Thus on the day of robbery, Parth came from Ahmedabad and later took part in the crime,” he added.
After the robbery, Hansa Devi had divided the money in two parts. “One part was taken by her and second was given to Parth,” he said.
Police said six persons have been arrested. “We have arrested the accused identified as Priyanshu Sharma (22), Ravi Sharma (25), Hanuman Sahai (44), Mohit Kumawat (20) and Hansa Sharma (42)”.
