Loot in Disguise: Nihang-Clad Robbers Strike!

Chandigarh : A shocking daylight robbery has rocked New Chandigarh, where three unidentified criminals disguised as Nihangs launched a violent and daring attack on a car carrying four passengers, including a woman. The incident took place in Nayagaon, Mohali district, and has sparked panic across the region due to the audacity and brutality of the crime.

According to police reports, the three assailants approached the car in full Nihang attire, which traditionally symbolizes Sikh warriors known for their discipline and spiritual purpose. However, these imposters used the disguise to deceive and ambush unsuspecting victims. Armed with kirpans (traditional swords), the attackers forcibly stopped the vehicle, threatened the occupants, and carried out the robbery in broad daylight.

What makes the crime even more disturbing is that the attackers physically assaulted the passengers, including the woman. Eyewitnesses claim that the scene was terrifying, with the robbers showing no hesitation or fear of being caught. They looted cash, valuables, and mobile phones from the victims before fleeing the scene. The woman in the car was also reportedly assaulted during the robbery, adding a grim layer to the already horrifying incident.

The victims filed a complaint at the local police station, and an intensive manhunt has been launched to track down the accused. CCTV footage from the nearby areas is being reviewed, and teams have been dispatched across Mohali and Chandigarh borders to ensure a quick arrest. Authorities have expressed concern that the use of religious disguise may be part of a larger tactic to avoid suspicion and bypass public scrutiny.

This incident has not only raised questions about public safety in the rapidly developing region of New Chandigarh but also shocked the local Sikh community, which has condemned the misuse of religious symbols for criminal purposes. Community leaders have called for swift justice and strict action against the culprits to ensure that the sanctity of religious traditions is not exploited in the future.

As the investigation continues, residents are being urged to remain vigilant and report any suspicious activity. The police have assured that no effort will be spared in bringing the criminals to justice.
