Mathura Police Arrest Two for Staging Fake 6 Lakh Robbery
Mathura police busted a fake robbery plot after an agent and his accomplice staged a theft to steal 6 lakh rupees. Read how they were caught.
In a dramatic twist to a reported theft, the Mathura police have successfully busted a fraudulent scheme where two men staged a fake robbery to embezzle 6 lakh rupees. The investigation revealed that the entire incident was a carefully choreographed ruse designed to misappropriate funds entrusted to an agent.
The Elaborate Deception
The conspiracy began on September 29, when the complainant transferred 6 lakh rupees to his agent, identified as Kuldeep Singh. The instructions were clear: withdraw the cash from the bank and transport it to Mathura. However, instead of delivering the money, Kuldeep and his accomplice, Ajit, hatched a plan to steal the entire amount.
To execute the heist, the duo followed a specific sequence of actions:
- They withdrew 3 lakh rupees each from the Iglas and Gramin Bank Basma branches.
- The total sum of 6 lakh rupees was secretly hidden in the Harotha area.
- Kuldeep intentionally damaged the front of his motorcycle to make it look like he had been involved in an accident or struggle.
- He traveled toward Mathura with an empty bag, discarding it along the route to simulate a theft.
Once the stage was set, Kuldeep reported the "robbery" to both the complainant and the Dial-112 emergency service, claiming the cash had been snatched.
Suspicion Leads to Arrest
While the story seemed convincing at first glance, the Mathura police grew suspicious of the sequence of events. The inconsistencies in the report prompted an intensive interrogation, which quickly unraveled the web of lies. The police realized the money had never actually been stolen; it had been hidden by the very person tasked with delivering it.
In a coordinated midnight operation, the Raya police station, supported by the SOG, SWAT, and surveillance teams, moved in to apprehend the suspects. At 12:42 AM on Friday, Kuldeep Singh and Ajit were arrested near the government school park in Harotha.
Details of the Accused and Recovery
The police have identified the suspects as:
- Kuldeep Singh: A resident of Sarkoriya, under the Gorai police station in Aligarh.
- Ajit: A resident of Nagla Badhiya, under the Iglas police station in Aligarh.
Following their arrest and subsequent disclosure, the police successfully recovered the full amount of 6 lakh rupees. Additional Superintendent of Police (Crime) Shweta Yadav confirmed that the case was solved within just 24 hours of the initial report. Legal proceedings are currently underway as the duo faces the consequences of their orchestrated crime.
