Breaking news from Delhi: Police have cracked open a shocking murder mystery at a Rohini petrol pump, detaining two men in record time. The February 16 incident saw Amarnath Yadav stabbed repeatedly in the chest, found motionless in Sector 23 around evening rush hour.
Responding to a 6:56 PM alert, Begumpur station officers provided immediate aid, transporting Yadav to SGM Hospital. Despite efforts, he was pronounced dead, prompting a murder investigation under BNS 103(1). The motive? A brazen phone snatch that turned lethal.
Under Additional DCP Rajiv Ranjan’s oversight, the team deployed advanced forensics from Mobile Crime Unit and FSL Rohini, scouring for clues amid the bustling pump area. Interrogations with local vendors, CCTV operators, and scrap dealers uncovered sightings of two men on a grey scooter—familiar faces from Rohini’s GTB Colony, notorious for substance abuse.
Human intelligence and tech surveillance converged on February 19, leading to 29-year-old Rohit’s apprehension. His confession implicated Durgesh alias Durgi, who was quickly rounded up. Recovered items told the tale: victim’s phone, an injured witness’s device, the deadly knife, scooter, and blood-soaked attire.
This triumph in under 72 hours showcases Delhi Police’s prowess in blending old-school policing with modern tools. As the accused face charges, the episode serves as a stark reminder of street-level threats, calling for enhanced patrols and anti-drug drives to safeguard vulnerable neighborhoods.
