In a rapid response, Delhi Police arrested 19-year-old Anish Jha and apprehended four juveniles in connection with a murder in Budh Vihar, northwest Delhi, just 48 hours after the incident.
The victim, Raja (Mangal Singh), died following an assault involving knives and a beer bottle on the night of February 22–23 in JJ Colony, Sector-24. Investigators linked the attack to a revenge plot, following a dispute on February 20, when one of the accused was beaten and his scooter vandalized.
Police conducted raids across Sonipat, Panipat, and Haridwar, relying on a combination of technical surveillance and human intelligence to identify the suspects. Authorities noted that the chief accused, Anish Jha, has prior criminal cases, indicating a history of violent behavior.
The swift arrests underline Delhi Police’s focus on prompt action in violent crimes and the use of coordinated investigations across multiple districts.
