Kapurthala Police Investigate Multiple Criminal Cases Across District
Kapurthala police have registered several criminal cases involving theft, cheating, and narcotics possession, with investigations currently underway in all instances. The incidents span different villages within the district, highlighting ongoing law enforcement efforts.
House Theft in Kot Gobindpur Village
In the first case, Malkit Singh, a resident of Kot Gobindpur village, filed a complaint reporting a theft at his residence. According to the complainant, his family had gone to a gurdwara, and he had briefly stepped out to collect fodder for his cattle. Upon returning home, he discovered the lock of an inner door broken.
After reviewing CCTV footage installed at his house, Malkit Singh allegedly observed two unidentified individuals entering the premises by climbing over the boundary wall with their faces covered. The suspects reportedly stole gold jewellery weighing approximately five tolas, including two chains belonging to his daughter-in-law, along with cash amounting to Rs 1.5 lakh from a wooden cupboard.
Cheating and Breach of Trust in Rawalpindi Village
In another case, Harmanpreet Kaur, a resident of Rawalpindi village near Phagwara, reported an incident of alleged cheating and breach of trust. She runs a herbal products business and had developed an acquaintance with Baljeet Kaur.
According to the complaint, Baljeet Kaur visited Harmanpreet Kaur's house and expressed interest in a gold set weighing about 3.5 tolas that appeared in a wedding photograph. She allegedly requested to borrow the set for two days to show it to a jeweller for replicating the design.
On February 26, 2025, Baljeet Kaur's brother, Manveer Singh alias Bhalla, reportedly collected the jewellery but did not return it. When Harmanpreet Kaur later contacted them regarding the jewellery, another relative, Rishi, allegedly refused to return the set and responded rudely.
Narcotics Seizure in Bholath
Meanwhile, in a narcotics-related case in Bholath, police arrested Harpreet Gill, a resident of Mohalla Badalpur. Acting on suspicion, officers intercepted him and conducted a search in the presence of witnesses.
During the search, they allegedly recovered a box containing 20 strips of Pregabalin Capsules IP 300 mg, with each strip containing 10 capsules, making a total of 200 capsules. The arrest underscores ongoing efforts to combat drug-related offenses in the region.
Kapurthala police continue to investigate these cases, emphasizing their commitment to maintaining law and order across the district.
