Delhi’s Sarojini Nagar police delivered justice with the arrest of three robbers terrorizing the capital’s streets. From their possession: a stolen two-wheeler, Rs 28,150, gold jewelry from thefts, and a menacing knife. This coup unmasked five interconnected crimes, showcasing exemplary detective work.
The nabbed men—Sher Singh (Indore), Harmendra (Udaipur), and 39-year-old Manjeet (Udaipur)—were run to ground after a January 26 PCR alert at 8:14 AM flagged a knife-wielding loot bid near Sector-13 RK Puram dairy. FIR in place, urgency dictated a special task force led by Inspector Atul Tyagi.
Team members SI Deepak Loyal, HCs Pankaj, Amarjeet et al., under ACP Safdarjung Enclave, executed flawless groundwork: intel gathering, CCTV marathon reviews exceeding 100 videos, culminating in precise identifications and arrests.
Under grilling, Manjeet spilled details of their nomadic, narcotic-plagued life. A Udaipur locksmith masking trips as pilgrimages to Delhi Gurudwaras, he united with Sher (relative) and Harmendra on the 24th. Daily drug spends of Rs 7-8K drove them to Shakarpur bike theft and Laxmi Nagar burglary.
Republic Day antics: 5 AM failed mugging of a lady at South Campus park (her cries scared them off), then a biker at ARD Complex (helmet retaliation forced retreat). Police density halted plans, but renewed scheming in adjacent areas ended in capture. Criminal histories abound—three for Sher, six for Manjeet, two for Harmendra—linking to five stations’ dockets. Delhi Police’s vigilance shines, curbing festive felonies effectively.
