Delhi Police Crack Daylight Robbery Within 12 Hours; 3 Arrested
Delhi Police cracked a daylight robbery near Pitampura within 12 hours, arresting three suspects including two minors and recovering stolen cash.
In a swift display of investigative prowess, the Delhi Police managed to solve a brazen daylight robbery case in the Maurya Enclave area just 12 hours after the crime occurred. The operation resulted in the apprehension of three individuals, including two children in conflict with the law (CCLs).
The Terrifying Pitampura Heist
The incident unfolded on Tuesday, October 6, around 1:45 pm, near a quick-commerce and online grocery delivery store located by the Movie Time Cinema in Pitampura. A 19-year-old man was the victim of a high-stakes robbery that left witnesses shaken.
According to the official complaint, three unidentified youths approached the victim on foot. The assailants allegedly used a terrifying tactic, placing a suspicious—and possibly fake—object against the man's back while grabbing him by the neck. Under this intense threat, the robbers forcibly took approximately Rs 45,000 in cash from the store's counter before making a quick escape on a motorcycle.
Rapid Investigation and Technical Breakthroughs
Following the report, an FIR was registered at the Maurya Enclave Police Station under Sections 309(4) and 3(5) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita. The police investigation team immediately deployed a combination of human intelligence and technical tracking to identify the perpetrators.
The breakthrough came when investigators successfully identified the motorcycle used during the getaway. Tracing the vehicle led officers to Village Sahipur in the Shalimar Bagh area of Delhi. A targeted raid was conducted at the location, which led to the immediate arrest of the suspects.
Recoveries and Suspect Details
During the raid, the police successfully recovered several key pieces of evidence, including:
- Rs 21,000 in cash (part of the stolen amount).
- A dagger used during the commission of the crime.
- A two-wheeler motorcycle used for the escape.
The primary accused has been identified as 19-year-old Abhishek, also known as Choti, a resident of Village Sahipur. Police noted that he has no prior criminal record. Alongside him, two minors (CCLs) were apprehended in connection with the robbery. Further investigations are currently underway to uncover more details regarding the incident.
