Prime Accused in SBI Bank Robbery Attempt Surrenders After Police Pressure
In a significant breakthrough, the prime accused in the attempted armed robbery at the State Bank of India's Chedema branch has surrendered. Vitoulu Domeh, a 35-year-old man, turned himself in at the north police station in Kohima on Thursday, October 3. This development came after a relentless manhunt operation launched by the Kohima police, as confirmed by an official release issued on Friday.
Sustained Manhunt Leaves No Escape Route
The police release detailed that the suspect's surrender was a direct result of the intense and sustained pressure applied by the Kohima police force. Their relentless pursuit effectively closed all possible escape routes for the accused. Vitoulu Domeh, finding himself with no way out, was compelled to surrender to the authorities, marking the end of a tense search operation.
Terror at the Bank and Swift Police Action
During the robbery attempt, Domeh had allegedly terrorized the staff of the SBI Chedema branch. He was armed with a pistol and was also wearing an explosive device on his body, creating a highly volatile and dangerous situation. The identification and subsequent pursuit of the accused were made possible based on credible intelligence gathered by the police and crucial support from the public. This collaborative effort was pivotal in tracking down the individual responsible for the frightening incident. Vitoulu Domeh is now in the custody of the Kohima police as the investigation into the case continues.
