Summary
- Two snatchers sentenced to 10 years in prison for assaulting and robbing a man
- Snatchers stole ₹11,570 and a silver bangle from the victim
- Court imposed a fine of ₹10,000 on each convict
On February 9, 2022, the Dakha police in Ludhiana booked two men, Lakhvir Singh and Parkash, for snatching ₹11,570 from a victim named Harjinder Singh. The incident occurred on February 8, 2022, when Harjinder was on his way to his wife's parental home with ₹10,000 in his bag and another ₹1,570 in cash.
Around 5 pm, Harjinder stopped his motorcycle to attend to a personal matter. Two men on a black scooter then attacked him, with one beating him with a stick and the other strangling him with a rope. They snatched the cash and a silver bangle from Harjinder, who was bleeding from his nose and neck. Despite his injuries, Harjinder managed to grab the scooter, and a passerby helped him catch one of the attackers, Lakhvir Singh.
Based on Harjinder's complaint, the police registered a case and arrested both accused. During the trial, the accused pleaded false implication, but the court rejected this, noting that the complainant and an independent witness had identified the snatchers. The court sentenced Lakhvir Singh and Parkash to 10 years of rigorous imprisonment each and imposed a fine of ₹10,000 on each convict.
