Sentencing the duo — Surendra Singh, 38, and Suresh Singh, 35, — additional sessions judge SP Singh said a stern message should be sent to curb such crimes. He imposed a fine of 10,000 each and convicted them of robbery. If the convicts fail to pay their fines, the imprisonment shall be increased by another year, the order said.

On January 11, 2021, Deepak Pandey, a resident of Delhi, who works at a private company in Udyog Vihar, had alleged that he had gone to Sector 14 to withdraw 10 lakh from his company’s account. While he was returning, three men took him hostage at gunpoint and snatched his bag with the cash and other valuables near Sector 14 crossing.

A case under Section 379 B (snatching and use of force) of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) and sections of the Arms Act was registered at Palam Vihar police station. The investigation was handed over to crime unit, said police.

In the court, police presented 12 witnesses, evidence and confession statement.

While two suspects — Shravan Kumar and Sandeep Malik — were acquitted on May 22 this year, as Pandey did not recognise them in the court, police said Surendra Singh and Suresh Singh were convicted for their crime on Friday. Both were sent to Bhondsi jail, said police.
