Answers
Answer:
The widely held belief that crime is confined to the poor and the semi-literate was once again exploded last fortnight. In a midnight swoop, the Delhi Police arrested Satinder Singh, son of a millionaire, Prem Chand Aggarwal, son of an affluent dairy owner, Sarbjit Singh alias Bittu, who holds a master of business administration degree and Gurvinder Singh, a taxi driver, for their alleged involvement in two of the four bank hold-ups that have rocked the capital in the last 10 months. In these audacious robberies the desperadoes decamped with over Rs 31 lakh.
According to the police, the four were part of a five-member gang which stole Rs 1.23 lakh from the Greater Kailash branch of the United Bank of India on June 2, 1981 and Rs 6.44 lakh from the South Extension branch of the Canara Bank on September 7, 1981. Police recovered from them Rs 2.25 lakh, three country-made weapons, a car and two two-wheelers, all believed to have been used for committing the crimes.
Luxurious Lives: Police officials cannot put their finger on the exact motive for the crimes, but the desire of the accused to live luxurious lives and roam the world apparently drove them to it. Two of the accused spent large sums of money at the races and one went to Hong Kong on a binge. Satinder Singh's family recently moved into a new house on Kasturba Gandhi Road near Connaught Place.
Alleged robbers: Great expectations
Five people committed the robberies in both the banks but one of the five was not given his share. He blurted out the entire story to a relative in Madhya Pradesh. Within a fortnight, Nikhil Kumar and Surjeet Singh, additional commissioners, Delhi Police, received two telephone calls from Gwalior and Bhopal informing them about the identities of the bank robbers.
All four were subjected to surveillance for a month. In the early hours of April 21, a high-powered team led by Surjeet Singh and Kumar, and comprising of two deputy commissioners, two assistant police commissioners, and four station house officers simultaneously raided the residences of all the four and caught them unawares. The fifth person has not been arrested so far. Said Surjeet Singh: "Our job was much more difficult since we were dealing with people who were new entrants in the underworld: hence the delay."
Significant Link: Though Delhi Police officers deny it, it is believed that the delay was caused by a link between senior police officers and some of those involved in the robberies. One of the accused, in fact, is related to a senior Indian Police Service officer posted with the Delhi Police.
The Home Ministry has lately been flooded with complaints that a powerful group of police officers occupying important posts is in league with the criminals. Admits a Home Ministry official: "We are looking into these complaints including the one related to the bank robbery case." If any substance is found in the complaints, heads are likely to roll and the police may be able to solve the unsolved crimes.
