New Delhi: In a significant breakthrough against vehicle theft, the Subhash Nagar Police team under Rajouri Garden Police Station successfully apprehended an autolifter and recovered two stolen scooters along with a spring-actuated knife. The accused, identified as Arjun, had recently been released on bail on January 4, 2025, but resumed his criminal activities shortly after.

Incident and Police Operation

On January 31, 2025, a dedicated police team comprising Head Constable Lokesh, Constable Ramu Lal, Constable Shiv Pratap, and Constable Ashish was on routine patrol duty in the Subhash Nagar area. The operation was led by Sub-Inspector Vikas Fageria, In-Charge of Police Post Subhash Nagar, under the close supervision of Inspector M.S. Kamal, SHO Rajouri Garden, and Ms. Niraj Tokas, ACP Rajouri Garden.

While patrolling near Chhatri Wala Park in Subhash Nagar, the team noticed a suspicious individual dragging a scooter. His nervous demeanor and evasive behavior raised red flags. The police immediately intercepted him and conducted a thorough search, leading to the recovery of a spring-actuated knife from his possession.

Upon verifying the scooter’s registration details, it was confirmed to be stolen from the jurisdiction of Hari Nagar Police Station. The accused was identified as Arjun, son of Ram Pravesh, a 24-year-old resident of Golden Park, Rampura, Punjabi Bagh, Delhi.
