  • Criminal wanted in several bank heists held in Bihar’s Purnea

    Criminal wanted in several bank heists held in Bihar’s Purnea

    [ad_1]

    Patna: The Bihar police have arrested a wanted bank robber from a village in Purnea, an official said on Saturday.

    Accused Raja Sahani alias Munna Michel was active in many districts of Bihar including his native place in Begusarai. He was involved in a bank heist in Darbhanga and looted Rs 1.10 crore. Similarly, he looted Rs 60 lakh from a bank in Khagaria, Rs 70 lakh from Araria, Rs 42 lakh in Khagaria, and Rs 20 lakh in Madhubani among others.

    Sub-divisional police officer (SDPO) of Purnea Surendra Kumar Saroj confirmed Sahani’s arrest on Saturday. The raid was conducted on Friday.

    “The accused recently took a house on rent in Jafri Nagar under Milki Tola Panchayat in Purnea district. We received a tip-off about a person having suspicious activities. Accordingly, we constituted a team to raid at the place. After seeing the police team, Raja Sahani and one of his aides tried to escape from the spot. Raja Sahani was nabbed by the police team but his associate managed to escape,” Saroj said.

    During interrogation, he confessed the crime.

    Revealing his modus operandi, he said that he used to go to various districts and contact local criminals with fake identity. He becomes the kingpin of the gang and commits the crime. He used to make “meticulous” plans to commit bank or petrol pump robbery and leaves the district after committing the crime. Even if local criminals get arrested, they do not know the real identity of Sahani.

    “Sahani was involved in murder of a fuel station owner Laxmi Narayan Singh during the loot bid in Hardaria locality in Begusarai district. Begusarai police managed to arrest seven local criminals but they could not nab Sahani as his original identity was not known by the local criminals of Begusarai,” Saroj said.

    The accused had taken a room on rent in an isolated locality of Jafri Nagar four days ago. Sahani used to go to a farm land in the evening and stay there for long hours. The local villagers suspected his activity and informed the police. “He goes to farm land to contact local criminals on the phone so that no one could listen to his plan,” Saroj said.

    [ad_1]

    Noida: A 30-year-old employee of a private bank in Delhi was arrested in Greater Noida for allegedly raping an MBBS student and pressuring her to convert to Islam from Hinduism for marriage, police here said on Friday.

    Besides the man, who lives in the Sangam Vihar area of Delhi, his 52-year-old father has also been arrested in connection with the case, the police said.

    The complainant in the case is a 23-year-old MBBS student, currently enrolled in a medical college in Greater Noida but is originally from West Bengal, they said.

    According to her, she and the accused had met on a social media site, where he hid his real identity so that he could become friends with her, which they did, and later they got into a physical relationship, police said.

    “Eventually, she was sexually exploited by him and then forced into religious conversion, threatened and assaulted,” Additional Deputy Commissioner of Police (Greater Noida) Dinesh Kumar Singh said.

    “Accordingly, an FIR was lodged leading to the arrest of Mohammad Akhlaq and (his father) Mohammad Moin. Further investigation in the case is underway,” Singh said.

    A case has been lodged under Indian Penal Code sections 323 (assault), 504 (insult to provoke breach of peace), 506 (criminal intimidation), 354c (voyeurism), 376 (rape) and under provisions of the Uttar Pradesh Prohibition of Unlawful Conversion of Religion Act, the police said.

    Dankaur Police Station In-charge Sanjay Kumar Singh told PTI that the aspiring doctor had first come across Akhlaq during her coaching days on a social media site where he had identified himself as Aditya Sharma.

    “It was only in 2021 that both came face to face and she found out his real name. The accused told her that he had not revealed his real name, fearing she would stop interacting with him,” Singh said.

    The accused also hid from her that he was married with two children. She approached the police recently only after she found out he was married, the officer said.

    “When informed about the matter, the father of the accused advised him to ask the girl to convert so that he could do a second marriage,” Singh told PTI.

    Both accused were picked up from their Delhi home for questioning and later arrested. They are currently in judicial custody, the officer added.
