Four Arrested in Punjab for Inter-District Robbery and Snatching IncidentsPreviousNext

Khanna police arrested four members of an alleged inter-district robbery gang involved in multiple snatchings and vehicle thefts across Punjab, including a woman. The gang targeted pedestrians, especially women and elderly, stealing gold jewellery, mobiles, and cash across several districts. Police recovered stolen items and weapons during a checkpoint operation and are investigating further, with one accused still absconding. Relatives of the accused were also implicated for handling stolen goods.
