Panchkula, July 22 -- The Panchkula district police have arrested Goldy, a 36-year-old habitual offender from Kheri village, believed to be the mastermind behind the attack and robbery of a factory owner in April this year.
Goldy was nabbed on July 19 by a detective staff team led by sub-inspector Mandeep Singh from Sarkarpur village in the Raipur Rani area, following a tip-off.
