New Delhi, June 29 (IANS) Two thieves, who used to rob people after hypnotizing them, were arrested by the police, an official said on Wednesday.
The accused were identified as Ramesh alias Dabadi (35) and Amit alias Vinod (22). Deputy Commissioner of Police (south) Benita Mary Jaiker said a PCR call was received at Malviya Nagar police station on May 29 regarding theft of jewellery by two unidentified persons through hypnotism. "Immediately, police reached at the spot and met the woman complainant who stated that while she was on her way home, two people came and asked her for an address. Suddenly, the person overpowered her through hypnotism," the DCP said.
In a daze the victim handed over her gold locket and a pair of golden tops to the accused. When she regained her senses she called the police. Based on her complaint, the police registered a case under sections 420 and 34 of the Indian Penal Code.
During investigation, the police examined CCTV footage of the area and some suspects were noticed. Their photographs were developed and shared with the police net to identify them. On Tuesday, a tip-off was received that the suspects would come to Madan Mohan Hospital to execute another plan of cheating. A trap was laid and the duo were apprehended.
9 persons, including four farmers, were killed in the violence that had erupted during a farmers' protest in Lakhimpur Kheri. A bench headed by Chief Justice N.V. Ramana and comprising justices Surya Kant and Hima Kohli will hear the matter on Thursday. The matter has been listed as 'violence in Lakhimpur Kheri (UP) leading to loss of life'.
Canadian MP Tim S. Uppal said he was shocked to learn about the brazen attack on protesting farmers. Another Canadian MP Ruby Sahota said she was heartbroken to learn about the violence directed at protesting farmers.
The demand made by citizens primarily mirrored their right to clean air and the right to breathe, underlining the reality that Punjab is home to some of India's most polluted towns, including Mandi Gobindgarh, Amritsar, Jalandhar, Ludhiana, Khanna, and Patiala.
The case was assigned to the division bench of Justices A.G. Masih and Ashok Kumar Verma. Earlier, the case was being heard by the bench of Justices Rajan Gupta and Ajay Tewari but the latter recused himself from hearing the case on September 1.
Furnishing details about the incident, Additional DCP-2 Nishant Gupta told IANS that they had received information about a firing incident in the northeast Delhi area on October 1.
The activists of Punjab Congress will walk towards Lakhimpur Kheri in Uttar Pradesh if Priyanka Gandhi is not released and the Union Minister's son accused of murder not arrested, said state party President Navjot Sidhu on Tuesday.
