Police have apprehended four individuals from a 12-member dacoit gang involved in a recent house robbery in Olma village under the jurisdiction of Koksara police on August 21. The incident saw the gang loot the residence of Dhanjay Sahu, during which they locked the family members in a room and proceeded to steal valuables, including 250 grams of gold ornaments by breaking into an almirah. The group also caused substantial damage to household appliances before fleeing the scene.
Rupesh Naik, one of the suspects, was seriously hurt while
trying to flee the scene of the crime. Naik was rushed to the Bhawanipatna
government hospital and then moved to the VIMSAR hospital in Burla. He died
despite all medical efforts to save him. After the postmortem report is
received, the official reason of Naik's death can be established. Some of the
stolen property and funds were found in the possession of the suspects who were
apprehended by law enforcement.
On the evening of August 21, the group broke into Sahu's house with violence. Local locals tracked down Naik, who had participated in the robbery, soon after it had occurred. He tried to flee but was injured, and the locals turned him over to the authorities.
SDPO Dhiraj Chopdar of the Dharamgarh police department
shared this information and emphasised that more inquiries are needed. The
arrest of these four gang members provides new information about the structure
of the criminal enterprise. The death of one of the accused highlights the
risks and complications of such illicit acts, even as the police make progress
in investigating the case.
It's a sobering reminder of how vital vigilant communities
and strong law enforcement are to keeping people safe and stopping crime. It
also emphasises the importance of maintaining efforts to counter criminal
networks and provide victims with fair treatment.
