In a swift operation, Delhi Police have cracked a daring robbery case in the upscale Vasant Vihar area, leading to the arrest of two notorious criminals. The incident, which sent shockwaves through the posh neighborhood, unfolded late last night when residents reported a brazen theft at a local residence.
Eyewitnesses described how the robbers, armed and masked, stormed into the house around midnight, overpowering the occupants and making off with cash and valuables worth lakhs. The victims, a family of four, were held at gunpoint for over 30 minutes during the ordeal. ‘They were professionals, knew exactly what they wanted,’ said one traumatized family member.
Acting on a tip-off, a special team from the South West District swung into action. Using CCTV footage from nearby areas and technical surveillance, officers tracked the suspects to a hideout in Najafgarh. A dramatic early morning raid resulted in the duo’s capture without any resistance.
The arrested individuals, identified as Ravi Sharma (32) and Vikram Singh (28), have prior records of similar offenses across the capital. Police recovered most of the stolen items, including gold jewelry and electronics, from their possession. Interrogation revealed they had cased the target house for days, exploiting lax security.
This bust underscores Delhi Police’s commitment to maintaining law and order in high-profile areas. Senior officers hailed the team’s efficiency, noting that enhanced patrolling and community vigilance played key roles. Investigations continue to uncover possible accomplices, with the accused remanded in custody for further questioning.
Residents of Vasant Vihar expressed relief, urging authorities to install more CCTV cameras and improve night patrols. As the city grapples with rising urban crime, such decisive actions serve as a strong deterrent to potential offenders.
