Delhi’s law enforcers have demonstrated remarkable efficiency by solving a gruesome stabbing at a Rohini petrol pump within three days, leading to the arrest of two local criminals. The February 16 evening attack left Amarnath Yadav fatally wounded, his body discovered bleeding profusely beside his scooter in Sector 23.
Begumpur police received the distress call at 6:56 PM and raced to the spot, ferrying the victim to SGM Hospital where he succumbed to injuries. Identified as Amarnath Yadav, the deceased had been robbed of his mobile phone in what investigators believe was a targeted mugging by addicts prowling the area.
An FIR under BNS Section 103(1) kicked off a relentless probe. The SHO-led squad meticulously examined the scene alongside forensic teams, gathering fingerprints, blood samples, and other traces. Door-to-door inquiries with roadside sellers, vigilantes, and ragpickers painted a picture of suspicious activity involving a grey scooter.
A secret informant tipped off the police about Rohit, 29, and his sidekick Durgesh alias Durgi, habitual drug users from nearby GTB Colony. Raids culminated in Rohit’s capture on Thursday, February 19. Cracking under pressure, he spilled details of the joint assault, enabling Durgesh’s arrest.
Seizures included the stolen mobiles, the bloodied knife, the scooter used in the escape, and incriminating garments. This case highlights the perils of petty crime escalating to murder in Delhi’s outskirts, with police vowing zero tolerance. Community leaders praised the quick response, urging sustained vigilance against narcotics-fueled violence.
