Ex-Armyman Arrested for Masterminding ₹29.65 Lakh Robbery in Indore

Police in Indore arrested three persons, including an ex-armyman, for robbing ₹29.65 lakh from an employee of a scrap trading firm on June 11. The victim, Mukul Agrawal, was carrying cash collected from various businesses when two men on a scooter stopped him near Jaiswal Dharamshala, assaulted him and fled with the money.

Investigators formed eight special teams and examined over 800 CCTV camera footages to identify the suspects. The main accused, Chandrashekhar Mukati, confessed during questioning that he planned the robbery after suffering financial losses in cryptocurrency trading and mounting debts. He directed associates Pravin Bhandari and Amar Ahirwar to track the victim's movements.

Police recovered ₹22.60 lakh of the stolen amount along with the victim's bag and a car during operations against the arrested accused.
