Lucknow: Riding a truck, 10 armed and masked dacoits looted a transformer factory in UPSIDC, on Dewa Road, and decamped with 6,500 kg copper coil/relay gas cylinders, mobile phone of an employee and bicycle and uniform of a security guard in a daring incident and after brief lull on crime front in the city on the intervening night of Friday and Saturday.Items looted were worth Rs 80 lakh.
DCP, East Ashish Srivastava, who reached the scene along with a team of police officers to oversee the investigation, said the miscreants entered the factory climbing the boundary wall of the factory while their aides drove into the factory on a truck. “The miscreants held the employees/workers at gunpoint in the factory and locked them in a room before loading the copper coils on the truck,” said the DCP.
Factory owner Sanjeev Agrawal said the dacoits remained inside the factory for about three hours and loaded all heavy items from the factory before leaving the scene. “They looted the cycle and dress of the security guard and the mobile phone of a staff member to prevent the staff from any call to the police,” he said. Agrawal denied reports that the dacoity took place due to enmity. ADCP, East Zone, Syed Ali Abbas, said a case under charges of IPC section 395 was registered. “We are checking CCTV footage of the nearby areas as the place where the incident had taken place had no CCTVs,” he said.
