The incident took place on January 31 when the victim, Manoj Kumar, was returning home after closing his outlet around 6pm on his two-wheeler. In the FIR, the victim alleged that the accused assaulted him with iron rods before fleeing with the cash bag.
Officials involved in the investigation are scanning the CCTV footage of the crime spot. Jalandhar commissioner of police Swapan Sharma said the investigation teams have been carrying out an extensive probe and have zeroed-in the accused involved in the case.
“One of the accused has already been apprehended and ₹12 lakh of the looted amount has been recovered from his possession. We have not disclosed the matter as other accused might benefit from it. The matter is under investigation,” Sharma said.
There is also confusion over the total amount looted as the victim failed to provide any receipts related to ₹27 lakh.
