A month-long chase concluded triumphantly as Delhi Crime Branch officers arrested two minor brothers accused of a vicious stabbing in Jahangirpuri. The 15-year-old and his 17-year-old sibling, wanted in an attempt-to-murder charge, admitted their guilt after being nabbed locally.
Flashback to February 6: Mukesh arrives home to his son’s tale of unprovoked slaps from two boys next door. He and his brother march over for a showdown. Shouts turn to shoves, then to blades. The minors allegedly stabbed Mukesh’s brother critically in the shoulder and gut; Mukesh’s hand was also gashed in the melee.
Jahangirpuri station logged the grave offense, but the attackers bolted. Crime Branch sprang into action with a dedicated unit headed by Inspector Sandeep Swamy, monitored by ACP Girish Kaushik. Key members included SI Ravi Rana, SI Pradeep Dhul, and ASI Sunil, who leveraged street smarts and tech surveillance.
Human intel cracked the case, leading straight to the brothers’ Jahangirpuri turf. Confessions followed custody. Digging deeper, police uncovered their roots: lifelong residents, minimal schooling (class 6 and 8), part of a laborer’s family with five boys.
The motive? Flexing muscle to rule the roost in their rough neighborhood, per initial findings. With the suspects in legal hold, probes press on. This operation exemplifies Delhi Police’s resolve against juvenile crime waves, reassuring residents amid persistent safety concerns.
