A 20-year-old student in a college in Bareilly district has been arrested, along with his friends, for stealing mobile phones, purses and a bike. He said he had taken to theft because he needed money for his girlfriend’s abortion.
The student, Aman Patel, has been arrested along with his friends Pawan Kumar and Anurag Sharma, who formed a gang to steal.
According to city SP Sameer Saurabh, an FIR was lodged a few days ago regarding the theft of a bike. “The victim informed us that he had seen a youth driving his bike near Lal Fatak area. We arrested Pawan Kumar from the locality along with the bike and during the interrogation, he revealed the names of his friends. Aman Patel and Anurag Sharma were arrested later,” the police official said.
Patel confessed that his girlfriend was pregnant and he wanted money to help her get an abortion done.
Patel said since he could not ask for money from his family to terminate his 19-year-old girlfriend’s pregnancy he decided to form a gang with the two other friends.
