New Delhi, Feb 20 || In a major breakthrough, the Delhi Police have solved a blind robbery case within 48 hours, arresting four robbers after scanning 200 CCTV cameras and tracking a 32 km trail within the national capital.
The police also arrested the kingpin, officials said on Friday.
The police, in a statement, said that on February 16, the information was received at Karol Bagh police station regarding a snatching incident near Ganga Ram Hospital Crossing, wherein the victim had sustained a head injury. Upon receipt of the information, the police immediately reached Ganga Ram City Hospital, Pusa Road, where the injured victim was admitted.
The victim stated that he had come to Karol Bagh from Dwarka via Metro for shopping, when an unknown person aged about 25 years approached him and tried asking some questions about the market. He ignored the conversation. After some time, he noticed the same person, along with another man, following him and attempting to engage him in conversation.
One of them claimed that the other person was carrying cash allegedly stolen from his employer, and, since he did not have a bank account, he needed help depositing the money. They even showed some cash kept in a bag to gain his confidence. Sensing something suspicious, he began walking briskly towards the Ganga Ram Hospital red light, but both individuals continued to follow him.
