Ludhiana, April 1
The police have arrested a couple after their unsuccessful attempt to loot gold ornaments from shop of a jeweller on Noorwala Road here on Wednesday. The couple was booked under Sections 379-B/457/511 of the IPC. The suspects have been identified as Dev Das and his wife Arvinder Kaur, both residents of New Shivpuri Colony.
The complainant Jatinder Kumar, who owns a jewellery shop on Noorwala Road here, told the police that the couple came to his shop on Wednesday afternoon to purchase gold ear rings. “As I was showing ear rings to them, the suspects threw red chilly powder on my face with the intent of looting gold ornaments. Since I was wearing glasses, the chillies had a little effect on me and the duo was overpowered on the spot,” said Jatinder.
The investigating officer, Surinder Kumar, said the matter was being probed.
