At about 11:30 PM, he alonwith Sarvesh (another driver of the company) were assigned the task of delivering mobile parts loaded in two containers at Sector 82, Noida Phase-II, UP. Both of them started from Palam Airport, Delhi with two containers carrying mobile parts and when he reached Road No. 13, Kalindi Kunj, Delhi, a white colour car intercepted his container. Two persons alighted from the car and slapped him and pulled him down from the container at the point of knife and took away the container. He further informed that shortly after that, Sarvesh also reached there with second container and made a PCR call. Consequently, a case of robbery vide FIR No. 261/15 was registered at PS Sarita Vihar and investigation was taken up.     

It was a blind case and the identity of the assailants was not known to anybody. Two teams led by of Inspr. Maninder Singh SHO/Sarita Vihar and Inspr. V.S. Rana Investigation/Sarita Vihar consisting of SI Rakesh, SI Nagander, SI Manish, HC Lalit, HC Satish, Ct. Rajesh, Ct. Dilshad, Ct. Mukesh, Ct. Satish and Ct. Manish were formed under the overall supervision of Shri Nidhin Valsan, ACP/Sarita Vihar.

Several sources were deployed and antecedents of present employees of A to Z Transport as well as those who had left the job in the recent past were verified. During the course of investigation, it also came to knowledge that earlier such type of incidents was also attempted twice by some persons with the drivers of A to Z Transport Company. After gathering all informations, technical surveillance was also mounted and it was revealed that driver Sarvesh was frequently using his mobile phone at the time of taking the delivery of goods. After indepth analysis, the police team zeroed in on one suspicious number which was in regular touch with driver Sarvesh. The mobile number was found to be in the name of one Pramod r/o Distt. Kasganj, UP. On further verification, it was revealed that Pramod earlier worked as driver in A to Z Transport and about one year ago, he had left the job. The movements and hideouts of Pramod were ascertained and in the morning of 02.04.15, a raid was conducted at his native village from where an Eicher Canter was recovered in which looted articles were found loaded. Accused Pramod and his accomplices Vinod Kumar Yadav and Parmod Yadav (Both brothers) r/o Vill. Kasganj, UP were apprehended while they were going to sell the looted goods. Their accomplice driver Sarvesh was also apprehended. At their instance, looted canter, knife used in the incident and a Tata Sumo car were also recovered.

         

          All the accused persons were subjected to sustained interrogation during which it was learnt that all are drivers by profession and Pramod is the mastermind. He was earlier working in A to Z Transport Company and had left the job about a year ago.  He aspired to earn easy money and own a transport company. He contacted Sarvesh and hatched the conspiracy to rob a loaded canter. Sarvesh was also wanted to purchase his own canter. Pramod asked Sarvesh to inform him about the delivery of huge & costly goods. 3-4 days prior to the incident, Sarvesh came to know about delivery of goods worth Rs. 25/26 crores. He passed this information to Pramod who along with his accomplices Manku, Neeraj and Vinesh hatched a plan to rob the goods. Before executing their plan, Pramod also contacted Vinod Kumar Yadav (working as a driver at Chauhan Transport, Noida) and his brother Parmod Yadav (working as driver at A to Z Transport) to arrange for sale of the looted property.

As per their plan, when the canters carrying goods left Palam Airport, Pramod, Manku, Neeraj and Vinesh followed in Tata Sumo Car of Vinesh. Driver Sarvesh was in touch to tell them the location of canters on his mobile phone. When the canter reached near Sarita Vihar Flyover, Kalindi Kunj Road, they intercepted the canter and robbed it alongwith the goods at the point of knife and fled away. They damaged the GPS system in the canter. Their accomplices Vinod Kumar Yadav and Parmod Yadav followed them in another empty canter. After reaching Hathras, UP, they transferred articles of the looted canter in the empty canter and left the looted canter at the roadside to mislead the police and reached their hideout in District Kasganj, UP from where they were apprehended. Further investigation is in progress. More arrests and more recovery are likely.
