Bhopal (Madhya Pradesh): Awadhpuri police on Saturday arrested caretaker Samiksha Srivastava, her boyfriend Vishnu Gaur and two alleged aides, Ravi Yadav and another suspect, in connection with the attack on a 71-year-old retired mining officer Mohan Chaudhary during a robbery bid at his house in New Shriram Parisar.
The caretaker had even planned to get herself tied up so that no one would suspect her involvement in the robbery. ACP Aditi Bhawsar said Samiksha was the mastermind of the conspiracy.
She hatched the plan and provided the suspects with detailed information about the house, its layout and the family’s belongings. The suspects have been taken on three-day police remand for questioning.
The ACP said Samiksha is a resident of Itarsi, while Vishnu Gaur and the other suspects are from Seoni Malwa, Sonkachh and Umraoganj. Police are questioning them to establish their roles in the crime and are also checking their previous criminal records.
