DGP Gaurav Yadav said that Police teams from Khanna have successfully arrested four accused persons involved in this case and recovered the 3.63kg silver, which was stolen from the Temple, from their possession.
He said that preliminary investigations have revealed that the Gang was planning robberies in temples of Tamil Nadu and Telangana, which have been thwarted. Further investigations are on and more arrests are expected, he added.
Sharing operation details, SSP Khanna Ashwini Gotyal, while addressing the press conference said that acting swiftly, special teams were formed under the supervision of SP Investigation Saurav Jindal to trace the case and investigation of the case was carried out by scientific-technical means and using Human intelligence.
She said that during the investigation of the case, inputs were received that an interstate gang of thieves carry out thefts in temples and other religious places. Acting swiftly on the inputs, special teams of Khanna Police conducted raids in different districts of Punjab and other states and with the help of Uttarakhand Police, managed to trace and arrest the first accused identified as Resham Singh alias Rinku from Delhi,” she said.
The SSP said that apart from this, with the help of Chandigarh Police, the accused Ravi Kumar was arrested from Chandigarh and accused Honey was arrested from Ropar. She said that the police have identified one more accused Mohit of Utawal in Aligarh of UP, an associate of this gang, who is yet to be arrested.
