3 cops, 5 others arrested for robbing a firm at gunpoint

Three Delhi police personnel, along with five others, have been arrested for allegedly robbing employees of a firm at gunpoint after barging into their office in Mahipalpur area.

According to sources, robbed articles and a pistol has been recovered from their possession.

One Naveen Sehrawat, director of STTPL Tradeserver Private Ltd, had lodged an FIR with the police alleging that four masked men barged into his office when he was busy working with others. The alleged men told him that they were the police. They then threatened the entire staff to hand over all valuables.

“Sehrawat resisted and asked them to show their I-card. This made them angry and one of them fished out a pistol while another slapped him on his face. When his staff tried to call the police control number, they too were attacked. The accused threatened that they would open fire and snatched the valuables,” said sources.

The employees of the victim raised an alarm and shouted for help. This panicked the robbers and three of them managed to flee by jumping off the balcony. One of them, who was later identified as Jai Kapoor, was held.

He was handed over to the local police and an FIR was registered. Following the investigation, eight accused were held and the robbed articles were recovered from them.

The policemen were identified as Sandeep Kumar, Manu Kumar, and Amit Kumar.

The police said that all the accused were remanded into judicial custody and further probe in the matter is ongoing.
