MBA student among 4 held in dacoity case

Ghaziabad: Four students, one of them pursuing MBA, have been arrested in connection with a dacoity in the house of a local oil trader, police said today.

The four, also including an engineering student, were allegedly involved in the dacoity in the house of Suresh Kumar Sharma, 50, in posh Sona Enclave three weeks ago. Cash and valuables estimated to be around Rs 3 lakh were looted from the family.

According to SP (Rural) M M Beg, the youths were arrested with the help of a mobile phone that they had snatched away from Sharma's wife.

"The phone was tracked when one of them used it for talking to his girl friend," the officer said.

Deepak (21), Rahul (24) Vinay (22) and Satender (20) are all locals hailing from upper middle class families. Two of them are pursuing graduation, he said.
