On the morning of November 24, 2025, five masked, armed miscreants forcibly entered the home of Manoj Basicha in Subhash Colony, Karnal, Haryana, where preparations were underway for the December 4 wedding of his son, Aditya, who had recently returned from Australia. The intruders held the family hostage at gunpoint for approximately 45 minutes, demanding cash and jewelry. When Aditya resisted, one of the intruders shot him near the shoulder. The miscreants looted 25 tolas of gold, around ₹12 lakh in cash, removed the house's CCTV DVR to cover their tracks, and fled using the family's Hyundai Verna car while firing shots in the air to intimidate bystanders. The abandoned car was tracked via GPS to Vasant Vihar. Karnal Police, led by Superintendent of Police Gangaram Punia, launched an immediate investigation and arrested all five suspects—identified as Rajeev, Deepak, Prince, Amritpal, and Abhishek, residents of Ludhiana, Punjab—in Zirakpur within hours.

This case represents a targeted home-invasion robbery (dacoity) executed by an external criminal gang targeting a household hosting wedding preparations. The perpetrators leveraged the predictable presence of substantial cash, gold, and valuables associated with upcoming marriage festivities. Violence escalated when the victim resisted, leading the gang to shoot him to enforce submission.
This case is an armed robbery/dacoity committed by outside criminals and does not appear to be primarily relationship-driven. Police quickly identified and arrested five suspects—Rajeev, Deepak, Prince, Amritpal, and Abhishek—from Zirakpur within three hours of initiating investigative operations. The stolen vehicle was recovered in Vasant Vihar using GPS tracking technology.
Initial confusion involved tracking the escape route after the perpetrators stole the victim's car and disconnected/stole the CCTV DVR. However, GPS installation in the vehicle quickly resolved the physical displacement vector.
The perpetrators likely conducted prior surveillance on the residence, noting ongoing wedding preparation activities and painter presence. Entering around 8:00 AM on November 24, 2025, they subdued the family at gunpoint. Following resistance from Aditya, they shot him, collected cash and gold, dismantled the CCTV system, stolen the family vehicle, abandoned it in Vasant Vihar, and boarded an auto-rickshaw toward the bus stand before being apprehended in Zirakpur.
The high situational vulnerability of a household holding extensive wedding cash and gold creates a prime target for opportunistic or pre-planned armed robbery. The willingness of armed intruders to use firearms inside a private residence highlights severe situational risk to all occupants.
Residential households hosting major public life events (like weddings) face elevated risks of predatory property crimes. Rapid deployment of technical investigative tools, such as vehicle GPS tracking, drastically reduces perpetrator escape windows.
The presence of external tradespeople (painters) and frequent deliveries into a newly renovated main-road house holding wedding items served as visible markers that the household possessed substantial liquid assets.
The primary investigative breakthrough came from the GPS device integrated into the stolen Hyundai Verna car, which led officers directly to its abandonment spot in Vasant Vihar.
Key evidence included recovered stolen items (gold jewelry and cash), the retrieved stolen Hyundai Verna car, spent bullet casings at the scene, and victim/witness identification.
A family representative described five masked miscreants entering between 8:30 and 8:40 AM, opening fire, forcing women to surrender bangles and earrings, shooting Aditya near the shoulder, stealing cash and gold, and removing the CCTV DVR.
Initial reports raised concern over an untraceable gang, but rapid followup confirmed the recovery of the car via GPS and the arrest of all five suspects in Zirakpur, Punjab within hours.
Details regarding whether internal tipping or specific local reconnaissance took place prior to the dacoity remain under ongoing police verification.
