New Delhi, Nov 21
Delhi Police on Friday arrested a thief wanted in a mobile phone snatching case after sustained technical surveillance and intensive field efforts by the Jama Masjid Police Station team of the Central District. The original Aadhaar card of the complainant was also recovered during the operation.
According to a statement released by the Central District Police, the incident occurred on September 16, when a case of mobile snatching was reported at Jama Masjid Police Station. The complainant, a BSF personnel who had come to Delhi for onward posting, visited the Jama Masjid area. At around 6 pm, while walking near the Service Road at Kabutar Market, he was intercepted by two unknown individuals—one obstructed his path while the other snatched his Vivo V-40E mobile phone, which contained one ATM card.
The complainant immediately raised an alarm by shouting “Chor-Chor,” prompting ASI Neeraj Tyagi and Constable Sumit, who were patrolling the area, to rush to the spot. They managed to apprehend one of the accused, and the snatched mobile phone was recovered from his possession.
