Bizman robbed off Mercedes in Panchkula: Mastermind with long list of crimes in net
Two weeks after a 42-year-old Mumbai-based businessman was robbed of his Mercedes car near Nada Sahib gurdwara on July 1, Panchkula police have cracked the case with the arrest of the mastermind. Two other accused, Sukhjeet Singh, 33, from Hoshiarpur, Punjab, and Sukhbir Singh, 29, from Kiratpur, Rupnagar, were already arrested on July 7. (HT) Identified as Dara Singh, hailing from Rupnagar, Punjab, he has a significant criminal history, with 32 cases in Punjab and Himachal Pradesh, including charges of attempt to murder, robbery, Arms Act and Gangster Act, shared DCP (Crime) Amit Dahiya. Two other accused, Sukhjeet Singh, 33, from Hoshiarpur, Punjab, and Sukhbir Singh, 29, from Kiratpur, Rupnagar, were already arrested on July 7. Further interrogation led to the arrest of the mastermind from Punjab, he said. On the night of July 1, the victim, Aarif Sheikh, was driving his 2014 model Mercedes car from Nada Sahib Road towards Peer Muchalla. He was suddenly intercepted by a car near Peer Baba Dargah, Sector 3. The three car occupants, who claimed to be cops, and appeared to be under the influence of alcohol, began searching his vehicle. The trio then threatened Sheikh with a pistol, forced him into the backseat of their car, and robbed him of his Mercedes, two mobile phones, a gold chain and wrist watch. The accused reportedly drove Sheikh around nearby areas for some time before abandoning him near a toll plaza on the Panchkula-Shimla highway and making off with his Mercedes. Following the arrest of the three accused, police have recovered the Mercedes, the Honda Amaze car used in the crime, a gold chain, two iPhones, a watch worth ₹2.5 lakh, Apple earbuds and a dummy pistol. DCP Dahiya stated that the accused had previously served jail time together and were currently out on bail. Their motive was to quickly sell the stolen property, but police foiled their plans. The police are now investigating their links to other crimes in Haryana and possible involvement in incidents across other states.

Sukhjeet Singh shines, Harmanpreet Singh scores late as India end Pro League with a win to snap losing streak
Scoreline: India 4 (Sukhjeet Singh 21′, 35′, Amit Rohidas 36′, Harmanpreet Singh 59′) vs Belgium 3 (Arthur de Sloover 8′, Thibeau Stockbroekx 34′, Hugo Labouchere 41′) After cutting a frustrating figure on Saturday at half-time – losing his cool for a brief moment, uncharacteristically – Craig Fulton was more philosophical, speaking ahead of India's final match of the dismal European leg of the FIH Pro League. Seven defeats in seven matches, six of those by one-goal margins, some unfortunate missed opportunities along the way… did he feel India had been unlucky? 'I mean, life's not fair at the end of the day, and so on we go, you know?' What followed was a cracking match of hockey as India managed to end the losing streak in their last match of the season, beating a relatively inexperienced Belgium side 4-3 in Antwerp on Sunday. In a feisty, frantic and often fabulous to-and-fro encounter, Sukhjeet Singh scored twice and won the decisive (and somewhat controversial) penalty stroke, which Harmanpreet Singh converted in the 59th minute for a late winner. The Indians received a shot in the arm in terms of team news as Harmanpreet returned to lead the side – albeit in a limited role from the bench – after missing the last few matches due to a hand injury. Belgium were also experimenting with their squad with the likes of Alexander Hendrickx and Tom Boon not in the squad. But no Belgian side is easy to beat at this level, so India still had their task cut out. India started like they meant business. The first sign that Sukhjeet was going to have a major influence on the game came early when Amit Rohidas threw an aerial from the edge of the Indian circle all the way into the Belgium third, showing stunning range on the pass. Sukhjeet brought it down the right channel and put the ball across into the danger area. Dilpreet tried to convert from close range, but the Belgian defence held on. But Belgium would open the scoring soon. Arthur de Sloover drove with purpose into the Indian circle, exchanging 1-2s – first, intentionally with his teammate and then unintentionally with an Indian stick – and lifted the ball over Krishan Pathak's shoulders. It's becoming a somewhat worrying chink in the Indian goalkeeper's armour as he's not the tallest of goalkeepers, and he got beaten by a high ball not for the first time on this tour. It was still a fine finish, nevertheless. With Harmanpreet back on the pitch to take penalty corners, India hit back. This time it was a lovely little variation, as the captain went low on the turf instead of his all-out powerful flick, and Sukhjeet dived in with a deflection. It is the sort of goal Vandana Katariya scored frequently for the Indian women's team during her decorated career. With India piling on the pressure, Belgium nearly scored what would have been one of the goal-of-the-season contenders. From the left byline, a pressure-releasing aerial found Thibeau Stockbroekx down the right flank. He controlled the ball on the bounce and drove forward towards the Indian goal at speed and unleashed a powerful forehand shot that beat Pathak but hit the post. End of the first half, India missed a golden chance to take the lead. Abhishek did superbly to pick the pocket of Victor Wegnez at the edge of Belgium's circle, but missed the target from close range. Stockbroekx would punish India for that missed chance early in the third quarter as he completed a sweeping move from right to left, lifting from close range after Suraj Karkera made a save. To their credit, India hit back almost immediately, as Sukhjeet was alert to a loose ball after Abhishek was fouled at the edge of the circle and the Belgian defence briefly switched off. It was just a good old low forehand strike that beat the goalkeeper on his near post. Shortly after, Rohidas fired in a low hit from a PC to put India ahead. Hugo Labouchere brought things back from a PC for Belgium in what was a basketball-esque third quarter. And just when it looked like Manpreet Singh had scored a rare goal, the video referee deemed that the time had run out. With both teams pushing for a win in the final quarter, a lengthy video review after an Indian challenge rather surprisingly was deemed as a stroke for a push on Sukhjeet's back by De Sloover. But after not being pleased with some refereeing decisions earlier on the tour, Fulton wouldn't have minded seeing the rub of green go his side's way as Harmanpreet converted the stroke. Before heading off to Europe, Fulton said the team was looking at the eight-match European block as a chance to not just get used to conditions at the two venues for next year's World Cup, but also an early opportunity to get a qualification spot. But as the tour wound down, those hopes were dashed. 'We just need to be practical around where we are. This is where we are,' he said. 'We have an Asia Cup that we're looking forward to, and we need to win (for World Cup qualification). We're building towards that, and then, once we've done that, we look further to the World Cup and Asian Games. We've had what has happened and we need to use it, learn from it.' There wasn't much at stake on Sunday in terms of India's position on the table, but the tide eventually turned, and the Indian team had something to smile about as they return home with plenty to ponder.

FIH Pro League: Indian Men's Hockey Team Edge Out Belgium In Thriller To Halt Slump
Last Updated: Sukhjeet Singh's brace and a goal each from Amit Rohidas and Harmanpreet Singh helped the Indians to a 4-3 win over the hosts at Antwerp. The Indian Men's Hockey Team registered a 4-3 win over hosts Belgium at Antwerp on Sunday to put an end to a seven-game losing streak in the European leg of the FIH Pro League. Sukhjeet Singh's brace and a goal each from Amit Rohidas and skipper Harmanpreet Singh helped the Indians to a 4-3 win over Belgium, who got their goals through Arthur de Sloover, Thibeau Stockbroekx and Hugo Labouchere. De Sloover opened the scoring early in the game before Sukhjeet restored parity shortly after as the teams went into the half-time break with nothing to separate them at the end of the second quarter. Stockbroekx's strike in the third quarter put the hosts ahead before being pegged back yet again by the brilliant Sukhjeet who made it 2-2 with his second goal of the evening. Rohidas' strike, near immediately after the second leveller, put India ahead for the first time in the encounter before Labouchere goal in the 41st minute set the tie up for a grand stand finish. As the game seemed to be headed towards a stalemate, Indian captain Harmanpreet held his nerve to score from the penalty spot in the 59th minute of the game to give India a win in the European leg of the league following a string of disappointing results. The Indian men's unit has had to endure a disappointing spell in the Europe, facing twin-defeats to The Netherlands, Argentina and Australia, before making it seven losses on the bounce as they went down to Belgium on Saturday. However, Sunday's victory at Antwerp against the hosts would serve as consolation to Craig Fulton's men. Location : Belgium First Published: June 22, 2025, 21:38 IST
