Delhi’s Prasad Nagar police turned the tables on crime Saturday evening with the dramatic arrest of two fugitives gearing up for a big score. A reliable tip alerted the patrolling squad to suspicious activity in their jurisdiction, leading to a high-speed pursuit after the men bolted at the sight of uniforms.
Caught red-handed, Karan Ranchoiya and Jatin, both 25-year-olds from Karol Bagh, yielded a prized iPhone lifted from Patel Nagar and the getaway white Activa scooter. Karan’s rap sheet is lengthy, boasting prior charges in theft and snatching across several stations including Rajendra Nagar and Daryaganj. Jatin’s background is equally shady.
Kudos to ASI Johrilal and his team—Constables Sandeep Bhati, Shubham, and Amit Nagar—for their on-point patrolling near Bapa Nagar’s Shiv Mandir. This proactive bust underscores the effectiveness of intelligence-driven policing in curbing urban crime waves.
Legal proceedings are underway, with the accused remanded. Police have mobilized units to track down associates, promising a wider crackdown on the gang’s operations. Such actions build public trust and deter would-be offenders in the capital.
