In a stunning display of investigative prowess, Delhi Police’s Crime Branch resolved the shocking daytime assassination of Sahil Solanki within two days, arresting two hardened criminals from the Tillu Tajpuria syndicate. The murder, rooted in fierce inter-gang hostilities, unfolded in broad daylight in Rohini’s Sector-17, highlighting the escalating underworld turf battles in the national capital.
Post-FIR, a crack team comprising Inspectors Man Singh, Arvind Singh, Sunder Gautam, and Neeraj Sharma, led by Sandeep Tushir, launched a multi-pronged probe. Their efforts culminated in two daring operations that netted the prime accused.
Operation-I unfolded near Narela, where ARSC officers ambushed and detained a gang foot soldier. Interrogation revealed his recruitment via Instagram by associates Himanshu and Mohit, drawn by promises of glamour and wealth. He served as the getaway rider on February 14, enabling Himanshu and Sonu alias Goni to execute the shooting.
Meanwhile, Operation-II involved exhaustive CCTV analysis and street-level inquiries by the NR-II unit. SI Balraj’s breakthrough on suspect locations led to a trap in Samaypur, Rohini, bagging the second assailant. Hailing from Bihar’s Muzaffarpur, he recounted a spiral into crime: a juvenile stint after a violent knife assault earlier this year, followed by Instagram-fueled entry into the Tillu gang for monetary gains.
With these arrests, the puzzle pieces of the murder are falling into place. Crime Branch officials are now gearing up for wider sweeps to apprehend the plotters and dismantle the gang’s operations. This breakthrough not only delivers justice for Sahil but underscores Delhi Police’s zero-tolerance stance on organized crime, potentially curbing further violence in vulnerable neighborhoods.
