Uttarakhand Police Arrests Additional Suspects in Dehradun Robbery Case

On February 4, Dehradun's Uttarakhand Police announced the arrest of two additional individuals in relation to a robbery that took place in the Premnagar area of the city. The authorities reported that both stolen cash and fake currency were found in the possession of the suspects.

Previously, three police officers had been detained in connection with this case, sparking significant concern over their involvement. These officers have since been suspended, and appropriate departmental measures are being pursued against them.

Officials indicated that the robbery was orchestrated as part of a calculated scheme, where the offenders purportedly deceived victims by offering cheap dollar transactions. The police have successfully reclaimed both the illicitly obtained money and the counterfeit bills from the alleged perpetrators.

Deepam Seth, the Director General of Police for Uttarakhand, reiterated the state's commitment to a zero-tolerance stance towards crime and misconduct, declaring that no individual, regardless of their position, would evade accountability for criminal activities. He underscored the principle that even law enforcement personnel are subject to the law, promising stringent actions against those found culpable.

Moreover, DGP Seth called for a comprehensive investigation into the supervisory practices of police personnel at the station and circle levels, emphasizing the necessity for improved oversight regarding the conduct and activities of the police officers involved in the case.
