The police had arrested Ramkaran Soni (25), a resident of Kadodara taluka in Surat suspecting his involvement in providing a tip off to two persons who had robbed one Mahendra Singhvi, the owner of Mamta Dyeing Mills at Kadodara of Rs 13 lakh on Friday.
During interrogation, Soni confessed to have given a tip-off to his friends who threatened Mahendra at gun-point to hand over the cash, while the latter was returning home from his factory.
After the incident, Mahendra contacted the Palsana police station and lodged a robbery complaint.
During investigations, the police found the statements of Soni and the victim’s car driver, contradictory, as he was also present at the spot when the robbery took place.
On Monday, the police arrested him and began further investigations. During his custody, Soni went to the bathroom and attempted suicide by consuming acid. The other inmates immediately started shouting when they spotted Soni lying on the floor. Lockup In-charge Bhagwanbhai immediately rushed Soni to the Sanjeewani Hospital at Kadodara and later shifted him to Surat.
