Saoner ATM Robbery Suspect Nabbed Following Fastag Transaction Clue

The Saoner police have successfully apprehended the primary culprit responsible for the ATM heist that occurred on January 29. During this incident, a State Bank of India ATM was forcefully breached, resulting in the theft of Rs 10 lakh. The arrest was made possible by tracing a crucial clue found in a Fastag transaction made by the suspect while attempting to flee in a four-wheeler. The arrested individual has been identified as Irfan Imran Khan, a resident of Utawad village in the Hatin tehsil of Palwal district in Haryana. However, his accomplices, Mubarak Imran Khan and Wasim Musa Khan, both residents of Haryana, along with other unidentified accomplices, are still at large.

The audacious heist occurred during the night of January 29, when the criminals, armed with sharp weapons, arrived in a four-wheeler. Boldly utilizing a gas cutter, they forcibly accessed the ATM, seizing the cash before making a swift escape. Despite attempts to mislead investigators by altering their vehicle's number plates at toll plazas, Saoner Police, under the guidance of Superintendent of Police Harssh Poddar, successfully cracked the case using automated Fast tag transactions, ultimately leading to the identification and arrest of Irfan Imran Khan in Haryana.

A police official remarked, "The Fast tag transaction proved to be a pivotal lead in this case, enabling us to monitor the movements of the suspect and ultimately apprehend him in Haryana." With SP Harssh Poddar and PI LCB Omprakash Kokate providing direction, the arrest was carried out by a team consisting of PSI Kokretwar, Rajendra Rewatkar, Pramod Bhoyar, Kishore Wankhede, Umesh Fulbel, API Sharad Bhasme, ASI Ganesh Rai, Avinash Bahekar, Ravi Meshra, Dawood Mohd, and others.
