Delhi’s Dwarka police scored a major win against organized theft by apprehending Prince Kumar, a 22-year-old serial burglar active in Najafgarh and Chhawla. The arrest, executed by the elite Anti-Burglary Cell, yielded stolen mobiles, silver jewelry, a motorcycle, and energy drinks, closing multiple unsolved cases.
It all began with Yogesh Kumar’s report of a break-in at his Masudabad Colony home in Najafgarh. Absent from March 3 to 8, he returned to find his residence looted of cash, gold, utensils, and a silver payal. Najafgarh station logged the e-FIR, triggering a high-stakes investigation.
DCP Kushal Pal Singh directed Inspector Vivek Maindola’s team to scour every angle. Crime scene analysis and eight days of CCTV review revealed masked men entering but not exiting the property. The breakthrough came via gaushala workers adjacent to the house, who fingered Prince from the videos.
Tailored surveillance and raids blanketed suspect areas like Ranahola and Mohan Garden. Acting on intelligence about his movement on a stolen bike to Goyla Village’s UER-II on March 13, officers ambushed and seized him. Recovered items included two phones, silver anklets, six Red Bulls, and the motorcycle.
During questioning, Prince confessed his slide into crime. Hailing from Bihar’s Kalyanpur, he moved to Delhi in 2021 for labor jobs. Bad influences and addiction to substances drove him to steal for quick cash. His family’s modest life—father at gaushala, mother as maid—contrasts sharply with his criminal path.
With this bust, seven burglary files are now resolved, showcasing Dwarka police’s tech-savvy and dogged pursuit. Residents in theft-prone zones can breathe easier as authorities vow to dismantle such networks.
