New Delhi, Nov 22 (NationPress) A squad from the Anti-Gangster Squad (AGS), under the leadership of Inspector Krishan Kumar, apprehended 32-year-old Rajeev alias Raj in Timarpur this Saturday. He had been a fugitive in a high-profile attempt-to-murder case filed under FIR No. 529/2025 on October 25, categorized under Sections 109(1)/3(5) of the BNS. Rajeev had evaded capture since the incident.

The AGS reported that on October 24 at about 7 p.m., a dispute erupted between Rajeev and Vishal near the Sulabh Shauchalaya in Sanjay Basti, Timarpur. Acting as a vigilant citizen, Rahul, the complainant, made a PCR call to report the clash. Upon realizing that Rahul had alerted the police, both Rajeev and Vishal attacked him with a knife, causing serious injuries.

Following the incident, both assailants fled, prompting the registration of FIR No. 529/2025 at Timarpur Police Station. They remained at large until Rajeev's recent arrest.

Rajeev's capture marks a partial resolution to this shocking attempt-to-murder case, although Vishal remains at large.

In light of increasing incidents of street crime, armed assaults, and gang activities in the national capital, the Delhi Police's Crime Branch has ramped up efforts to locate and apprehend both active and absconding criminals. The AGS has been specifically assigned to establish intelligence networks and monitor such offenders throughout Delhi and nearby states.

A specialized AGS team, led by Inspector Krishan Kumar and consisting of SI Agam Prasad, SI Braj Lal, ASI Gobind, ASI Surender, ASI Mintu, HC Vinod, HC Dharmraj, and HC Deepak, was formed under the vigilant guidance of Bhagwati Prasad, ACP/AGS, and the directive of Harsh Indora, IPS, DCP/Crime Branch to locate the suspects.

The team engaged in thorough manual intelligence collection coupled with technical surveillance of Rajeev's movements. On November 20, they received reliable information about his whereabouts. Acting promptly, the AGS set up surveillance and successfully captured Rajeev at Dwarka Mor, Delhi.

During rigorous interrogation, Rajeev confessed to his role in the attempt-to-murder case and disclosed his involvement in several prior criminal activities.

Residing in Sanjay Basti, Timarpur, Rajeev lives with his mother, younger brother Vishal, sister Babita, wife Simran, and four-year-old son. He is uneducated and works as a caretaker at a Sulabh toilet in Timarpur.

Due to his drug addiction and connections with criminal elements, he has been engaged in illicit activities since childhood and has faced incarceration multiple times. He is recognized as a declared Bad Character (BC) of PS Timarpur and has a previous conviction in FIR No. 190/2009, filed under Sections 395/397/34 of the IPC at PS Dwarka Sector-23, Delhi.
