New Delhi’s Dwarka sector turned into a hotspot for law enforcement action late last night when Delhi Police swooped down on a suspected criminal hideout. In a swift operation, officers arrested a man found in possession of illegal firearms, marking another victory in the city’s ongoing battle against organized crime.
The raid, conducted based on precise intelligence inputs, unfolded around midnight in a densely populated residential area. Eyewitnesses reported hearing shouts and seeing police vehicles cordoning off the street as the suspect attempted a desperate escape. Recovered from his possession were two country-made pistols, several live rounds of ammunition, and tools commonly used for weapon modification.
Senior police officials hailed the arrest as a significant blow to local arms trafficking networks. ‘This individual has been linked to multiple petty crimes and was supplying weapons to street gangs,’ revealed a top officer during a press briefing. The suspect, identified as 32-year-old Rajesh Kumar, a local resident with a history of prior offenses, is now under intense interrogation.
Authorities suspect deeper involvement in a larger syndicate operating across the National Capital Region. Forensic teams are analyzing the seized weapons for fingerprints and ballistic matches to past incidents. Meanwhile, residents of Dwarka expressed relief, noting a recent spike in gang-related violence.
This operation underscores Delhi Police’s renewed focus on proactive policing. With the festive season approaching, such crackdowns aim to deter potential threats to public safety. The accused will be produced in court today, where police will seek extended remand for further probe.
