In a swift and successful operation, the Commissionerate Police in Bhubaneswar announced that they have thwarted a robbery attempt and apprehended four members of a notorious gang near Baramunda Durga Puja Ground on Thursday. The police team was able to seize a car, as well as various weapons including a sword, iron rods, a toy gun, a knife, and a sharp weapon from the suspects. Deputy Commissioner of Police Prateek Singh identified the arrested individuals as Sibabrata Swain, Rajesh Behera, Aman Champaty, and Karan Mandal, aged 23, 26, 22, and 25 respectively.
According to Singh, one of the gang members managed to escape during the operation, but the rest were caught and taken into custody. Further investigation revealed that all the accused have a long history of criminal activities, with nearly two dozen cases registered against them by the City police. It was the Khandagiri IIC who received a tipoff about a group of unidentified men gathering near National Highway-16, allegedly planning to rob motorists and pedestrians. Acting promptly on the information, the police team apprehended the suspects.
Upon questioning, the accused were unable to provide a satisfactory explanation for their presence at the location in the late hours, said Singh. However, during interrogation, they admitted their involvement in the planned robbery, as confirmed by a senior police official. The Khandagiri police have charged the suspects under Sections 399 and 402 of the Indian Penal Code, as well as Section 25 of the Arms Act, and presented them in a local court on Thursday.
The swift action of the Commissionerate Police has not only foiled a potential robbery but has also led to the arrest of notorious criminals. The prompt response and efficient coordination of the police team has once again demonstrated their commitment towards maintaining law and order in the city. The accused will now face the consequences of their actions, and the citizens of Bhubaneswar can rest assured that the police are working tirelessly to ensure their safety and security.
