The Narol police station apprehended two individuals in connection with a robbery and assault case orchestrated through a dating application. The arrests were made within hours of the crime, while efforts are ongoing to locate a third accomplice.  

The case was filed by Rohit (name changed), who alleged he had connected with the suspects via a dating application in the Narol area. Upon meeting, Rohit was reportedly assaulted with sticks, verbally abused, and threatened with the release of sensitive video content.

The perpetrators, identified as Karan Sharma (20) and Vishal Tiwari (22), allegedly stole two mobile phones and transferred ₹20,000 from Rohit’s account using UPI.  

Acting on the complaint, the Narol police launched an investigation and tracked the suspects to the Rangolinagar Bridge in Narol. A police team dispatched to the location managed to apprehend Sharma and Tiwari.

However, their accomplice, identified as Yuvraj Darbar, remains at large. Authorities are actively working to ascertain his whereabouts and have urged the public to provide any helpful information.  

Preliminary inquiries revealed that both arrested individuals have prior criminal records. Karan Sharma has been involved in multiple cases registered at Narol police station, including public endangerment and traffic violations. Vishal Tiwari faces charges of assault, criminal intimidation, and robbery, with cases filed at both Narol and Anandnagar police stations.  

The police have recovered the stolen items and cash from the accused. Investigators are also probing whether the trio has been involved in other similar crimes. “Our team is working diligently to gather evidence and trace the third suspect. We appeal to the public to remain vigilant and report any suspicious activities,” said Parimal Desai, Police inspector of Narol Police Station.
