Punjab: Agniveer arrested in Mohali for vehicle snatching
An Agniveer and two others were arrested by the Mohali Police on Wednesday in connection with a vehicle snatching case.
The accused were identified as Agniveer Ishmeet Singh alias Ishu, his brother Prabhpreet Singh alias Prabh, and Balkaran Singh, all aged between 18–22 years.
Addressing a press conference in Mohali, Senior Superintendent of Police Sandeep Kumar Garg said the trio had two days ago allegedly stolen a car from the driver at gunpoint after booking a ride through an app.
They had used pepper spray on the driver’s face while snatching the vehicle in Mohali district, he said.
Ishmeet, currently posted in West Bengal, had come to Punjab on leave two months ago but did not rejoin work after his leave period of one-month ended, the SSP said, adding that the accused hail from Punjab’s Fazilka district.
A probe was launched and the investigation led to the arrest of the accused on Wednesday, he said.
