In an incident that took place in the Mandoli area of Delhi’s Shahdara district, three miscreants allegedly looted Rs 1 lakh from a person, news agency ANI reported citing the Delhi Police. The incident took place on June 19 and was caught on camera. In the video shared by ANI, two of the accused can be seen snatching a bag from the person, pulling and dragging him down from the two-wheeler. The third one can be seen waiting for them across the road on a bike.
The two sat on the pillion of the bike and fled the scene. The Delhi Police confirmed the video and said that a case has been registered and efforts are being made to identify the culprits.
Earlier in the day, the Delhi Police 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. 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.
