he lockdown has come as a blessing in disguise Tfor police to work on pending cases and ensure the arrest of accused. With minimal activ- ity in lockdown, the crime graph in the city has come down. In the past four days, the police have arrested over a dozen miscreants, some of whom are dreaded criminals bearing cash rewards. “On Sunday and Monday, the Lucknow police arrested nine persons on different charges and three of them are hardened criminals bearing a cash reward of Rs 10,000 and Rs 25,000,” sources said. The Chowk police arrested a criminal who was wanted for 2-year-old loot case. The miscreants had looted over 73 kg silver ornaments from an Agra- based jeweller. “The lockdown has came as a blessing in dis- guise for the Lucknow police as people’s movement and business activities came to a halt. Barring spo- radic incidents of loot (one in which a high-end car and mobile phone were looted from an associate professor of KGMU in Sushant Golf City), the police did not see have any grave case to work out dur- ing lockdown,” the sources said. They said the miscreants wanted in different cases could not escape their arrest as they did not get any mode of transport to flee the city. “It result- ed into less number of crime incidents like chain- snatching, road hold-up, land disputes, eve-teasing etc,” the sources pointed out. With less crime incidents, the police had enough time to work on pending cases and ensure the arrest of the accused. “With low number of cases, the police were asked to work on the old cases and arrest the accused,” a senior official said. However, cases of house theft and group clash- es were reported from different parts of the city and rural areas. “The police remained busy with inci- dents in which people flocked to scene, defied lock- down or did not follow social distancing norms,” the official said. 7 8

he PGI police on Monday busted a gang of rob- Tbers and fraudsters. One member of the gang used dress as a woman to trap the gullible. Those arrested were identified as Rashid Ahmed of Fatehpur, Vijay Pradhan of Unnao and Shiv Kamal of PGI police sta- tion area. Shiv Kamal was handling the gang’s affairs in Lucknow. PGI SHO KK Mishra said the gang used to fleece innocents with offers to double their money, sell fake gold ornaments and snatch money from peo- ple on finding them alone. They used to target peo- ple in the PGI police area. Meanwhile, a youth was attacked for helping his friend in getting a case regis- tered against latter’s rival in Madiaon. Interestingly, he was attacked when he was about to enter the police station premises on Monday. The victim, identified as Rohit Rastogi of Jankipuram Extension, said his friend Mustqeem had a brawl with Pradeep and Umesh on Sunday. “I got a call from Mustqeem on Monday. He asked me to reach to police station for his help. When I was entering the police station premises, Pradeep and Umesh attacked me,” Rohit alleged. Meanwhile, thieves made off with cash and jew- ellery worth lakhs of rupees from the house of a busi- nessman in Gomti Nagar Extension. As per reports, Poonam Yadav of Raghunath Nagar in the area, along with her husband (a businessman), had gone to her native house in Rae Bareli for some work on Sunday. Around 5 am on Monday, her neighbour Kalpna Yadav called her informing that the lock at the gate of his house was lying broken. Poonam returned home and found Rs 60,000 in cash, ornaments, CCTV camera and its DVR missing. She then called the police and a team reached the place. Sources said the thieves took away the CCTV camera and its DVR to destroy evi- dence against them. “The police usually crack theft cases with the help of CCTV footage. The thieves have also stolen the DVR, leaving a big challenge for the cops,” the sources said. !"#"# $
