Delhi Police arrests snatcher duo 'Bilora-Haddi'; jewellery, vehicles recovered
New Delhi (PTI): Delhi Police has arrested the notorious 'Bilora-Haddi' duo involved in multiple cases of snatching, with the recovery of stolen items and vehicles, officials said on Wednesday.
The accused, Sanju alias Bilora and Sachin alias Haddi, were arrested from the Bans Wala Park area on Tuesday following a tip-off.
They came in contact with each other while lodged in jail earlier and later formed the 'Bilora-Haddi' duo after their release.
"The motorcycle used by the accused was also found stolen. Interrogation of the accused led to the recovery of five more two-wheelers," the office said.
The police said four snatched gold chains and Rs 29,500, suspected to be proceeds of crime, were seized from the accused. The recovered chains are suspected to be linked to snatching incidents reported in Vikas Puri, Shalimar Bagh and Paschim Vihar.
Investigators said the duo operated in a coordinated manner and mainly targeted pedestrians wearing gold chains. "One of them would ride the motorcycle while the other swiftly snatched the chain before escaping from the spot," the officer said.
The police said both Sanju and Sachin are history sheeters and have been found involved in more than 70 criminal cases.

Telangana rains: Four farmers dead, three injured as sheds collapse in Mancherial
Karimnagar (Telangana) (PTI): Four farmers died, and three others were injured after tin-roofed sheds and dilapidated structures collapsed in two separate incidents in Mancherial district of Telangana, officials said on Wednesday.
The incidents occurred in two villages of Luxettipet mandal late on Tuesday night, when the farmers were taking shelter in the structures following heavy rain and strong winds.
According to officials, two people died when a shed caved in at Kothuru village.
In a separate incident in Gampalapalli village, two more persons died after another structure collapsed, police and district authorities said.
