Gang of robbers from Dahod held under GujCTOC Act
Vadodara: A gang of robbers that was arrested by the Dahod police in October was remanded to seven days police custody by a local court. The gang of robbers that has several cases of dacoity registered against it has been booked under the Gujarat Control of Terrorism and Organized Crime (GujCTOC) Act.
“The three members of the gang were remanded to police custody for seven days by the court on November 6.
The gang was nabbed in October and was remanded to three days of police custody earlier. But the police later booked them under GujCTOC Act and sought its remand again,” said Raghuvir Pandya, special public prosecutor.
The gang of three including Jaysinh Palash, Dilip Baria and Nikesh Palash, all residents of Dahod, are booked for 16 offences in 13 districts of Gujarat. Pandya said that they have committed loot and dacoity in Junagadh, Jamnagar, Rajkot, Jamnagar, Dwarka, Dahod, Morbi and other districts.
“The remand was sought for gathering details about the gang’s modus operandi and how they managed to do recce in different districts. They must have got local support so the cops are now trying to find out if any more persons are involved in the crime,” Pandya told TOI. The gang will be taken to different districts during the period of remand. The case is now being investigated under Limkheda deputy superintendent Kanan Desai.
