New Delhi, Nov 7 (NationPress) The Delhi Police successfully solved a robbery case within 48 hours, apprehending four individuals implicated in the crime. Their arrests led to the recovery of Rs 18,000 in cash and a Maruti Suzuki Swift Dzire vehicle used during the incident.
As per a statement released by the South-West District Police, the staff from Police Post Subroto Park, under the jurisdiction of Police Station Delhi Cantt, arrested four suspects identified as Amit alias Kaku (21 years), Pawan (22 years), Manish alias Churri (21 years), and Sonam (19 years).
On November 3, the Delhi Cantt police station received a PCR call regarding a robbery carried out by occupants of an unidentified vehicle. The complainant informed the police that after arriving from the IGI Airport to Dhaula Kuan Bus Stand around 1:30 a.m., he entered a private Maruti Suzuki Tour car already occupied by three men and a woman.
During the ride, the woman reportedly began verbally abusing and threatening him, while the men forcibly seized his belongings, including a mobile phone and debit cards. The suspects subsequently withdrew Rs 33,000 from his bank account using the stolen card. They also damaged his mobile phone and discarded it before leaving him in an isolated area.
Following the complaint, a case was registered under FIR No. 283/2025, U/S 309 BNS at Police Station Delhi Cantt, leading to an active investigation.
Given the severity of the crime, a specialized police team was assembled under the close oversight of Anil Kumar, ACP/Delhi Cantt, and Inspector Shyoram, SHO/Delhi Cantt. The investigative team included Sub Inspector Jasbir Malik (IC/PP Subroto Park), PSI Manish Kumar, Head Constable Pawan, HC Rakesh Kumar, HC Bhaskar, and Ct. Ravinder.
The team thoroughly reviewed CCTV footage from NH-48, Vasant Kunj Road, MR Road, and Mahipalpur Road, which led to the identification of a suspicious Maruti Suzuki Swift Dzire. Further inquiries revealed that the vehicle belonged to Lokesh Gupta, who had rented it to Amit alias Kaku.
A timely raid was executed, resulting in the capture of Amit alias Kaku and Manish alias Churri. Following their disclosures, co-accused Pawan and Sonam were also arrested from their homes.
