Swift action by Noida Sector-113 police on January 29, 2026, led to the unmasking of a mobile snatching ring, with two key players arrested and 23 phones plus two motorcycles recovered. Leveraging local tips and electronic monitoring, the raid in Sector-123 disrupted operations that terrorized commuters in busy locales.
The apprehended men are Irshad alias Michhu (27) from Ghaziabad’s Premnagar, Loni, and Julfam (26) from Mohalla Ikramnagar, Loni. Their bikes, a KTM Duke and Bajaj Pulsar without plates, were getaway vehicles in their hit-and-run tactics.
Both have dismal academic backgrounds—up to class 5 and 6—and even more troubling criminal pasts. Irshad boasts cases under BNS for loot in Ghaziabad and Delhi; Julfam under Arms Act and BNS in Delhi-Noida. Released before, they dove back into crime without remorse.
Phones recovered match complaints from assorted stations; police are tracing owners for returns. Interrogations probe deeper into potential accomplices. This success story highlights vigilant enforcement amid urban crime surges, reassuring Noida citizens while signaling zero tolerance. Bolstered surveillance and community intel will fortify defenses against such predators moving forward.
