In a series of events that could have been taken straight out of a movie, a police team nabbed a pair of juveniles wanted for a brutal stabbing in a 58-hour-long chase covering around 1,200 km. The juveniles who hail from Bihar had stabbed a taxi driver 32 times to rob him of ₹12,000 on Sunday night. The incident took place near St. John’s Hospital in Koramangala.
“As the hospital was nearby, the victim, Dileep, received timely care and survived the attack,” said the Madiwala police. The juveniles had accidently left behind a bank payslip with their personal details at the crime scene. With the help of a bank, the police managed to get the address of the accused and their mobile numbers. “Call record details put their presence in the same area,” said a police officer.
A team led by Police Sub-Inspector Nagaraj S. Shettar started tracking the duo and discovered that they had boarded the Bikaner Express from Yeshwantpur station. The police decided to board the train at Pune station. Mr. Shettar and his team took a flight to Pune while another police team led by Inspector Paul Priya Kumar took the road. Mr. Shettar’s team landed at Pune in time to board the train , but could not locate the accused due to heavy rush of passengers.
