New Delhi, Oct 8
The Crime Branch of Delhi Police has arrested Imran, a wanted interstate criminal, who had been absconding since 2017, in connection with a robbery case in Jaipur.
The case dates back to April 21, 2017, when an FIR was registered at Murlipura police station in Jaipur. Imran and his associates had intercepted a truck in the Murlipura area, held the driver hostage, and looted plastic granules worth Rs 40 lakh. After the heist, the gang abandoned the driver and truck in a deserted location.
Acting on fresh intelligence received on Wednesday, the team conducted a raid in Palwal, where Imran was reportedly preparing to leave for Kolhapur. He was apprehended before he could flee.
Police teams are now being formed to track down the remaining associates involved in the crimes.
