South Delhi’s Mehrauli police turned a violent episode into a textbook arrest operation. Triggered by a February 3 emergency call, teams arrived at Anupam Apartments to rescue Mukesh (26), a Sangam Vihar resident battered by a quartet of attackers.
Paramedics stabilized him at Pt. Madan Mohan Malviya Hospital, but gravity of wounds necessitated AIIMS Trauma referral. Digging deeper, cops pieced together evidence of a coordinated attack, filing FIR 113/26 under BNS provisions 110/79/126(2)/3(5).
Specialized units sprang into action, leveraging local intelligence to collar all perpetrators from their Sangam Vihar hideouts. Identified as Vishal Rawat (26, s/o Balam Singh), Jatin (20, s/o Rakesh Gupta), Sonu (25, s/o Shahzad Ali), and Vivek (20), the group now faces rigorous interrogation.
Police brass commended the rapid timeline from crime scene to custody, vowing comprehensive scrutiny of motives. Preliminary leads suggest neighborhood tensions, but forensic and digital trails are being pursued.
This success bolsters public faith in law enforcement amid Delhi’s bustling southern fringes. It highlights vulnerabilities around student-heavy IGNOU areas and prompts calls for community policing enhancements to preempt similar brawls.
