Ludhiana: A man and his accomplices robbed an advocate’s assistant of his car near Khwaja Kothi Chowk, as the latter had refused to take the case of the former’s friend, who is lodged in jail.
The incident took place on May 23, but the victim, Gagandeep Singh, lodged a police complaint on Saturday as he was threatened against it.
Division 3 police have registered a case against Rajan Raja and his two aides, who are yet to be identified.
Gagandeep, 31 of Indrapuri, Tajpur Road, said in his police complainant, “I work as an assistant of an advocate at the district courts. I have known accused Rajan for two to three years. Rajan has faced trials in different cases, including those of drugs and robbery. In 2019, Rajan and his accomplices were arrested when they were hatching a conspiracy to free gangster Rajiv Raja from jail. Rajan and his aides were extorting money by making people talk to Rajiv through WhatsApp calls. We had Rajan’s case.”
