LUDHIANA: Two masked miscreants robbed a scrap dealer of Rs 2 lakh after throwing chilli powder into his eyes in Industrial Area-B, near Miller Gunj, on Wednesday.
Jatinder Nagpal, 40, a resident of Basant Avenue, said in his police complaint, “Like every day, I reached my shop around 10am to open it.
I was carrying a bag that contained about Rs 2 lakh.
I kept the bag down to unlock the shop.
At that time, two men on a motorcycle stopped near me.
They asked me if a man named Billa worked there.
When I told the duo I did not know him, one of them threw chilli powder into my eyes and escaped with the cash bag.” Jatinder somehow opened his shop, washed his face and called up the police control room.
Assistant commissioner of police, Industrial Area-B, Randhir Singh said a case has been registered under Section 379-B (snatching) of the IPC.
The cops scanned footage of CCTVs installed near the spot that had captured the accused.
They are checking more CCTVs to trace the miscreants.
