5 Arrested For Robbing Delivery Agent, Associate At Gunpoint In Delhi's Pragati Maidan Tunnel

Five people have been arrested for allegedly robbing a delivery agent and his associate at gunpoint inside Delhi's Pragati Maidan tunnel.

The Delhi Police has arrested five people for robbing a delivery agent and his associate of around Rupees 2 lakh at gunpoint inside Delhi's Pragati Maidan tunnel. Two of the four were arrested yesterday itself. They were questioned by the police and based on that the remaining three were arrested. A video footage of the incident has come to the fore where three to four bike borne unidentified armed assailants could be seen blocking the victims' car inside the tunnel. As one of them opened the car's door, another snatched  a bag with the cash and then fled the spot.

In the wake of the incident, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal demanded that the Lieutenant Governor should resign and also targeted the Centre over the matter.

"LG should resign. Make way for someone who can provide safety n security to the people of Delhi." Kejriwal tweeted. He added, "If Central govt is unable to make Delhi safe, hand it over to us. We will show u how to make a city safe for its citizens."

The incident comes days after Kejriwal wrote a letter to the LG VK Saxena in the light of recent cases of murder in the national capital. 

In his letter, Kejriwal also proposed a meeting of his cabinet with the LG and sought directions for police officers to hold joint meetings with elected MLAs, councilors, and Resident Welfare Associations to suggest better ways of reduction of crime in the national capital.
