LUCKNOW, May 13 -- Lucknow Police on Sunday arrested three members of an organised gang allegedly involved in targeting elderly women sitting alone outside their homes in the Vrindavan Colony area. The arrests followed a robbery incident involving an elderly woman on May 10, prompting a swift investigation, police said on Monday. According to deputy commissioner of police (DCP) South Nipun Agarwal, the breakthrough came following a chain-snatching complaint lodged by the victim's son. Madhavi Devi was sitting outside her home when a man snatched her gold chain and fled, the DCP said. "Her son Mohan Singh filed a written complaint, prompting police to register an FIR under Section 309(4) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita," Agarwal said. Utilising CCTV surveillance and technical analysis, the police zeroed in on three suspects. On May 11, they were apprehended near the Barauli railway overbridge. Those arrested have been identified as Sumit Chauhan, 20, of Nepalganj, PGI area, Vikas alias Kulhad, 21, of Telibagh and Ayush Shakya, 21 of Defence Colony in Telibagh. All three are known to be repeat offenders with criminal cases already registered against them in PGI and Alambagh police stations. During interrogation, they confessed to forming a gang that specifically targeted elderly individuals, particularly women found sitting alone outside their residences, police said. In a press statement, police reported recovering several stolen valuables, three country-made pistols (.12 bore and .315 bore), and three live cartridges from the accused. "They would snatch valuables and later divide the loot among themselves," the deputy commissioner of police said....
