On November 3, a complainant reported that after arriving from IGI Airport to Dhaula Kuan Bus Stand around 1:30 a.m., he boarded a private Maruti Suzuki Tour car occupied by three men and a woman. During the journey, the woman allegedly abused and threatened him, while the men forcibly took his mobile phone and debit cards, later withdrawing Rs 33,000 from his bank account. His phone was destroyed, and he was abandoned at an isolated location.
A case was registered under FIR No. 283/2025 at Delhi Cantt Police Station, and a dedicated team was formed under ACP Anil Kumar and SHO Inspector Shyoram, including Sub Inspector Jasbir Malik and other officers.
Analysis of CCTV footage from NH-48, Vasant Kunj Road, MR Road, and Mahipalpur Road led to a suspicious Maruti Suzuki Swift Dzire, rented by Amit alias Kaku. A swift raid resulted in his arrest along with Manish alias Churri. Following their disclosures, Pawan and Sonam were also apprehended from their residences.
