A determined Kishangarh police team in South-West Delhi has solved three vehicle wheel thefts, apprehending two crafty locals amid a surge in such crimes. The arrests stemmed from sharp CCTV dissection and surveillance prowess.
Authorities seized three Chery alloy wheel sets with tires, prying tools, and the crime-facilitating Hyundai Aura. Ankit, aged 37, and partner Ketan Tokas, New Delhi natives, owned up to the deeds, slaves to drug cravings.
The saga unfolded via V Kumar’s January 29 online FIR after parking-lot bandits made off with his Hyundai Aura’s wheels, under BNS sections. Rapid response included CCTV combing, revealing prowlers at 5:30 PM January 28. An Ankit-registered Hyundai emerged as the suspect ride.
Mobile and tech monitoring pinpointed activities in Lajpat Nagar, Mahipalpur, and Kishangarh locales. A well-orchestrated stakeout netted Ankit with the car; his disclosures facilitated loot recovery and Ketan’s takedown with tools.
Special unit—SI Dharmendra, HCs Yogesh, Ashok, Constables Sanjeev, Dharmendra—thrived under Inspector Ajay Kumar Yadav’s oversight and ACP Melvin Vergis’s guidance. Ex-driver Ankit’s Rapido stint with the Aura fueled their vice.
Three cases at Kishangarh resolved, bolstering public safety as investigations deepen.
