“He, along with Fayim and the kingpin Sadik, committed around 20 cases of chain snatching from various parts of the city. They sold these chains to goldsmiths in Jahangirpuri,” said Choudhary.
Parmjeet told police that he failed to make a living doing odd jobs in small construction companies, after which he came in contact with Sadik. He added that he spent all his money on his three girlfriends.
“Sadik is still absconding. Efforts are on to nab him,” Choudhary added.
