In a major breakthrough, Kan hawala police in Rohini’s jurisdiction have solved the gruesome murder of 36-year-old taxi driver Vikas Sharma, arresting two underage culprits. The operation, spearheaded by SHO Krishna Kumar and guided by ACP Sarthak Tyagi, led to the seizure of the deadly knife used in the attack and the suspects’ clothing from the day of the crime.
Trouble erupted in Utsav Vihar, Karala, on March 4 at approximately 12:18 PM, prompting a frantic PCR call about a stabbing. Police rushed to the spot, but Sharma was already en route to Sanjay Gandhi Memorial Hospital, where doctors confirmed his death. A local resident and father, Sharma’s white Swift Dzire was discovered at the scene, stripped of his wallet and three phones, alongside one attacker’s abandoned slipper.
Forensic teams and crime scene experts meticulously scoured the area, paving the way for FIR 86/26 under BNS sections 103(1) and 3(5). A crack team comprising Inspectors and SIs like Surendra, Umair, Parveen Tomar, Pradeep, and Dinesh Kumar sprang into action, using CCTV footage, tech intel, and local sources to zero in on the minors.
Interrogation peeled back the layers: a trivial car scrape ignited fury between Sharma and the youths, spiraling into fisticuffs. Pinned down by one, Sharma was fatally stabbed by the other in a flash of rage.
Key evidence recovered on the minors’ directions includes the bloodstained knife and garments. As Delhi grapples with rising road rage incidents, this case highlights effective policing. Further inquiries are underway to ensure no stones are left unturned.
