A chilling robbery unfolded on Delhi’s bustling Wazirabad Road as four daring youths on motorcycles targeted a lone scooter rider, making off with a bag stuffed with cash collected from scrap dealings. The Friday evening attack near Axis Bank ATM in Khajuri Khas has police on high alert, vowing a rapid resolution.
Victim Avinash, aged 27 and serving as a field agent for a scrap dealer operating between Old Seelampur and Chandni Chowk, became an unfortunate mark. Cruising along the main road with his earnings, he was abruptly halted by the gang who boxed him in with their bikes, issued dire threats, and seized the valuables before vanishing into traffic.
Chaos ensued as bystanders reacted to the unfolding drama. Khajuri Khas police swung into action upon receiving the distress call, deploying personnel to preserve the crime scene. Forensic analysis is underway, with crucial CCTV feeds from surrounding areas under intense review to trace the escape route and identify the perpetrators.
The case stands registered under stringent BNS provisions for organized robbery and Arms Act clauses, reflecting the gravity of the offense. Special investigation units have been mobilized, conducting area sweeps and interrogating potential informants.
‘Witness accounts have given us solid pointers on the motorcycles involved,’ noted an official. ‘Combined with tech evidence, arrests are imminent.’ This brazen act raises alarms about rising snatch-and-grab incidents targeting cash carriers in Delhi’s peripheral zones.
Community leaders call for bolstered patrolling, while police assure heightened vigilance. The pursuit of justice presses on, aiming to dismantle such criminal networks.
