Gangsters challenge police on social media. media after arrests for vandalism

 

 

 

DESPITE the police’s tough stance against hooliganism and the action of parading arrested suspects, the audacity of criminals in the State capital remains unbroken. Following the arrest of four main accused in the case involving the vandalism of 11 cars in the Gautam Nagar Police Station area, their two absconding accomplices have issued an open challenge to the police by going live on social media.

 

The viral video has caused a major stir within the police department. In the viral video, the absconding partners of the arrested accused appeared live on a social media platform, mocking the police and saying, “Catch us first, then we’ll tell you who did the vandalism.” They also openly threatened informants, stating that those who provide information to the police will face consequences.

 

This video has once again raised serious questions about the city’s law and order and the effectiveness of police patrolling. On Saturday, November 23, miscreants attacked the Green Park Colony with stones and sticks, shattering the windows of 11 parked vehicles. The motive behind the crime was to extort Rs 3,000 per month as protection money from the complainant, Chandan Indoria. Following complaints from residents and the video going viral, the police became active and arrested four main miscreants within 24 hours and paraded them through the streets.

 

Arrested Accused: The four accused arrested and sent to jail by Gautam Nagar Police are: Ankit Yadav (24), Aryan Panthi (20), Arjun Singh Sondhiya (22- who has 12 criminal cases), and Cheenu alias Kunal Kuril (18). ACP Rakesh Singh Baghel stated that the social media video has been taken into cognizance and is undergoing technical investigation.
