New Delhi, Jan 20: The Delhi Police on Tuesday solved a blind robbery-cum-stabbing case involving an investigation that took an unexpected turn, with the alleged victim found to be the perpetrator of a serious offence under the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act.

In a statement, the Additional Commissioner of Police, East District, said that the staff of Police Station New Ashok Nagar successfully cracked the case through sustained efforts, scientific investigation, meticulous CCTV analysis, and the use of human intelligence. The prime accused has been arrested, while the robbed mobile phone and the knife used as the weapon of offence have also been recovered.

During the course of the investigation, a shocking conspiracy was unearthed wherein the alleged victim was found to be the perpetrator of a POCSO offence, and a minor witness emerged as a conspirator. Separate legal action has been initiated accordingly, highlighting the professionalism and diligence of the investigating team.

According to police, the case came to light in the intervening night of January 2, when New Ashok Nagar Police Station received information from Lal Bahadur Shastri (LBS) Hospital regarding the medico-legal case (MLC) of a stabbing victim admitted from the Kondli Pul area. The injured was identified as Jay Prakash, aged 32 years, a resident of Old Kondli, Delhi-96. Owing to the critical nature of his injuries, he was referred from LBS Hospital to the AIIMS Trauma Centre, where he remained under treatment.

As per the MLC, the victim had sustained incised wounds in the epigastric region of the abdomen and on the left side of the middle back. Accordingly, a case vide FIR No. 02/26 under Section 109(1) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) was registered at Police Station New Ashok Nagar, and the investigation was taken up.

Under the close supervision of the ACP, Kalyanpuri, a dedicated team was constituted, comprising Inspector Haroon Ahmad, Sub-Inspector Vinay Kumar, Head Constable Ajit Malik, Head Constable Nitin, and Head Constable Bobby. Given the sensitivity of the matter, the Special Staff of the East District was also associated with the investigation.

Police officials said that despite repeated efforts, the injured victim remained largely non-cooperative and failed to clearly identify the place of occurrence or the assailants. As a result, the investigating team relied extensively on technical surveillance and CCTV footage. Nearly 150 CCTV cameras installed across multiple locations were examined in detail.

Analysis of footage from the Kondli Pul area revealed that the victim was seen riding a bicycle towards Nehar Road, Dallupura, with a minor boy wearing a green jacket seated on the pillion. Approximately 23 minutes later, the victim was observed returning alone towards Kondli Mor, visibly injured. In subsequent footage, the same minor boy was seen running behind the bicycle and later dropping a small duffle bag near Raj Rani Hospital, where the injured victim also managed to reach for help.

Through sustained CCTV tracking and local verification, the minor was identified and later interrogated in the presence of his parents. During initial questioning, the minor claimed that the injured man was his private tutor. He further stated that an unknown assailant had robbed and stabbed the tutor at a dark and isolated stretch of Nala Road in Dallupura.

However, investigators noted several inconsistencies in the minor’s statement and found the overall circumstances suspicious. This prompted the team to intensify local intelligence gathering, which eventually led to the identification of the prime suspect, Devraj alias Jaggu, a resident of the Kondli area.

A raid was conducted at his residence, and Devraj alias Jaggu was apprehended. During sustained interrogation, he confessed to having planned and executed the robbery-cum-stabbing in connivance with the minor. He disclosed that the victim, Jay Prakash, had allegedly been sexually abusing the minor over a period of time, leading to deep resentment and a desire for revenge.

To conceal the true motive, the accused planned a robbery at a secluded stretch of Nala Road. As per his confession, the victim was stabbed with a knife, and his mobile phone, along with cash amounting to approximately Rs 200-300, was robbed. On further questioning, the minor also confessed to his role in the conspiracy.

Based on the disclosures and evidence collected during the investigation, a separate case vide FIR No. 42/23 under Section 75 of the BNS and Section 8 of the POCSO Act was registered against the victim, Jay Prakash.

Police said the motive behind the crime was revenge and accumulated resentment arising from the alleged repeated sexual abuse of the minor by the victim. The robbery was deliberately staged as a facade to execute the assault and to obtain money for personal use.

Sharing details about the accused, police said Devraj alias Jaggu, aged above 18 years, is a resident of a jhuggi opposite Maitrey School, Kondli Pul, Kondli Extension, Delhi. He is educated up to Class 10 and is currently unemployed.

The recoveries made in the case include the robbed mobile phone and the knife used in the commission of the offence.

Delhi Police bust Jamtara-based cyber fraud syndicate, 2 held for credit card fraud

Delhi Police have busted an alleged cyber fraud syndicate operating from Jharkhand and arrested two men, including a B.Tech graduate, for allegedly cheating more than 50 people through fraudulent credit card transactions while impersonating as bank officials, officials said on Sunday.

The accused were identified as Aftab Ansari, age 24, and Abdul Majid, age 23. The Cyber Police Station of Shahdara district arrested the two in Jharkhand’s Dhanbad district after a four-day operation. They recovered three mobile phones allegedly containing WhatsApp chats and other digital evidence linked to fraud.

According to police, the investigation began after a complaint by Tarnjeet Singh, who alleged that unidentified persons posing as HDFC Bank officials contacted him over the phone and WhatsApp, claiming they could help him update his credit card Know Your Customer (KYC) details. The complainant subsequently discovered unauthorized transactions on his credit cards

The police traced a Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra worth Rs 1,39,999, purchased using the disputed credit card transactions on JioMart, to a delivery address in the Jharia area of Dhanbad district.

After conducting surveillance and field verification for four days, the team devised a trap with the assistance of a delivery agent. Police arranged a decoy mobile phone delivery at a location allegedly used by the suspects. The two accused arrived to receive the purported delivery and were apprehended, officials said.

During the operation, two mobile phones were recovered from Ansari and one from Majid. The devices reportedly contained WhatsApp conversations and other digital material relevant to the investigation.

According to the police, the accused and their associates used social media platforms, including Facebook, to advertise assistance with credit card KYC updates to lure victims. Interested people were directed to online forms through which their personal and contact details were collected.

Mostly, unsuspecting individuals above 50 years of age were targeted by the fraudsters, who posed as bank officials and offered supposed assistance with KYC verification through video calls.

In these video calls, victims were asked to display their credit card details, including card numbers and CVV, on camera and share their mobile phone screens under the pretext of completing electronic verification. Police suspect that this enabled the accused to access the one-time passwords received on the victims’ devices and carry out unauthorised online transactions.

The fraudsters allegedly used compromised credit card details to purchase expensive mobile phones through online shopping platforms. The devices were delivered to locations in Jharkhand and West Bengal, away from the accused’s home district, to avoid detection.

Police said the phones were subsequently sold in local markets at comparatively lower prices. Since the devices were sealed and accompanied by a purchase invoice, they appeared legitimate.

Preliminary investigation suggests that almost 50 people were deceived like that. Police are still verifying the number of victims and the total number of people involved in the crime, presuming that it could be a whole network of other members.

Delhi police have advised the public not to share credit card details, CVVs, OTP or PINs over phone or video calls, or share mobile screens with unknown people.

A criminal of the Chhaimar gang, also known as the Kachha-Baniyan gang and carrying a reward of Rs.1 lakh, was arrested after an exchange of fire with Delhi Police in the South District, police said on Sunday.

The accused, identified as Savan alias Sudhan alias Hira alias Muchhoda Fufa alias Muchhoda Chacha, was allegedly caught while he was conducting reconnaissance of farmhouses in the jurisdiction of Maidan Garhi police station with the intention of committing dacoity when a police team moved to intercept him.

The team from Maidan Garhi police station, comprising SI Narendra Kumar, Assistant Sub-Inspector Ashok Mehta, Head Constables Sube Singh, Shakti, and Pradeep, and Constable Waseem Akram, acted on secret information about the suspect’s movement.

According to police, the suspect allegedly opened fire at the team twice during the operation, with a bullet striking the bulletproof jacket of Sub-Inspector Narendra Kumar. The police retaliated, and Constable Akram fired at the suspect, hitting him in the right calf. The injured accused was apprehended and subsequently shifted to AIIMS Trauma Centre for treatment, police said.

According to the police, the suspect arrived on a motorcycle from the Bass Gaon Road at around 6.25 am on Sunday and was identified by a secret informer. When the team attempted to stop him, he allegedly fired at the personnel with a country-made pistol.

SI Narendra Kumar fired three warning rounds. The suspect subsequently took out another country-made pistol and allegedly fired again, with a bullet striking the bulletproof jacket of SI Kumar, prompting the police to retaliate.

The accused is reportedly wanted in several serious criminal cases including dacoity, robbery and murder, registered in Uttar Pradesh and Punjab. A reward of Rs 1 lakh had been declared for him by the Additional Director General of Police, Varanasi Zone, in connection with a dacoity-cum-murder case registered at Shahganj police station in Jaunpur district of Uttar Pradesh in 2014.

His criminal antecedents also include an FIR registered at Raya police station in Mathura in 2016 in connection with a robbery-cum-murder case. In addition, he is reportedly wanted in a murder-cum-robbery case registered at City-2 police station in Mansa, Punjab, in 2024.

The suspect’s modus operandi was to survey farmhouses to identify targets before carrying out dacoities. The police received information about his presence in the Maidan Garhi area, which prompted the police operation that ended with his arrest following the exchange of fire.

Further investigation is underway to determine his role in other criminal cases, the police said.
