Making a mockery of security claims outside the Court Complex located on Ferozepur Road, two brazen bike-riding miscreants carried out a robbery against a young woman at knifepoint. The incident occurred as Ritu, who works at a gaming zone, was returning home after finishing her shift. The miscreants not only snatched the young woman’s valuable iPhone but also threatened to kill her when she attempted to resist.
The victim, Ritu, recounted that she had just reached the petrol pump situated near the Court Complex when she received a phone call. She was walking while talking on her phone when, suddenly, two youths riding a motorcycle pulled up beside her. Before Ritu could even comprehend what was happening, the robbers held a sharp-edged knife to her neck and issued a chilling ultimatum: “Hand over your mobile phone, or we will kill you.” Helpless in the face of death, Ritu was forced to surrender her iPhone 12 to the robbers. Surprisingly, the robbers also had their eyes on the chain Ritu was wearing around her neck.
Accused Flee After Issuing Open Threats
According to Ritu, the miscreants attempted to snatch her chain; however, the moment they realized that the chain was not gold but merely imitation jewelry, they let it go. After committing the crime, the accused fled the scene while openly issuing threats. Upon receiving the information, the police from Division No. 5 Police Station arrived at the spot and initiated an investigation. The police stated that footage from CCTV cameras installed in the vicinity of the Court Complex is being scrutinized, and the robbers will be apprehended very soon.
