Bengaluru: The police in northern Bengaluru arrested three men who allegedly stabbed and robbed a retired assistant commissioner of police (ACP) while he was returning home from his morning walk.
H Subbanna, the retired police officer, was waylaid by three masked men near the Veterinary College in Hebbal recently.
He was first threatened with a knife and robbed of his gold chain. When he resisted, he was stabbed in the hand and robbed of his gold bracelet, too, the police said.
Based on Subbanna’s complaint, the Sanjaynagar police launched an investigation and reviewed CCTV footage of the crime scene to trace the suspects.
The suspects — Syed Mohsin, 30, Mohammed Salman, 20, and Syed Irfan, 23, all residents of DJ Halli — were arrested. The police said the gold ornaments and cash were recovered from them.
