Ambala Police has made a significant breakthrough in its ongoing campaign against theft and robbery. Officers arrested five members of a criminal gang linked to a major burglary at a jewellery shop in Ambala Cantonment. This action forms part of a special police initiative aimed at curbing incidents of snatching and robbery across the region.
Details of the Arrest and Recovery
The police team recovered approximately 8 kilograms of stolen silver from the accused individuals. They also seized an illegal country-made pistol and two live cartridges during the operation. Additional items connected to the crime were taken into custody as well.
Ambala Cantonment SHO Inspector Surender Singh provided specific details about the case. He confirmed that the arrests relate to a theft case originally registered on December 18, 2025.
The arrested individuals have been identified as:
- Madan, also known as Bhadda Singh
- Babu
- Son Chidiya
- Fosalli
- Birju
Four of the accused hail from village Isapur in Uttar Pradesh. They currently reside in slum areas of Phase-11, Mohali, Punjab. The fifth accused, Birju, comes from village Milkhia in Shahjahanpur district, Uttar Pradesh. He presently lives in a slum located in Karnal, Haryana.
The Burglary Incident and Police Investigation
Inspector Surender Singh explained the background of the case. The complainant, Professor Mohit Verma, owns Laxman Dass Jewellers. He reported that unknown persons broke into his shop during the night of December 18, 2025. The burglars escaped with gold jewellery, silver jewellery, and an unspecified amount of cash.
Police registered a case based on this complaint and launched an intensive investigation immediately. The investigation team worked tirelessly for nearly one month. They analyzed CCTV footage from multiple locations and gathered intelligence across several states to track the gang's movements.
On January 16, 2026, the police received crucial information. Their sources indicated that some accused involved in the Ambala Cantonment theft were gathering at Shahpur Mandi in Ambala Cantonment. The gang members were reportedly planning to commit another major crime at that location.
Police acted swiftly on this tip-off. They conducted a raid at the specified spot and successfully apprehended all five accused persons. The operation prevented the planned criminal activity from taking place.
Recovered Items and Legal Proceedings
During the raid, police recovered stolen property with significant value. The 8 kilograms of silver alone carries an approximate value of 23 lakh rupees. Alongside the silver, authorities confiscated one illegal country-made pistol and two live cartridges.
The accused individuals were produced before a court following their arrest. Police obtained remand for further interrogation. During this remand period, investigators are questioning the gang members thoroughly. They aim to identify other associates and uncover involvement in additional theft cases.
Police have added relevant sections of the Arms Act to the case following the recovery of the illegal weapon and ammunition. The investigation continues as officers work to gather more evidence and complete the legal process.
