A dedicated team led by Insp. Sudhir Kumar Gulia tracked Rahul based on secret information and court orders issued in 2022 and 2023.
Delhi Police reiterated their commitment to combating habitual offenders through combined technical surveillance and human intelligence, successfully curbing street crimes and apprehending absconders.
