With the arrest of Arbaaz, a desperate and absconding robber residing in New Seelampur, Delhi, the team of ISC/Crime Branch has achieved a significant breakthrough. The accused had been evading arrest since 23.02.2025, and proceedings under Section 84 of BNSS were initiated against him.

INCIDENT:
A case vide FIR No. 160/2025, U/s 309(4)/311/3(5) BNS was registered at PS Kotwali based on the complaint of Raju, a resident of New Usmanpur, Delhi. On the night of 22.02.2025, while returning home from Kamla Market via auto-rickshaw, the complainant found himself in grave danger. At around 9:30 PM near Shantivan red light, as the driver stepped out on the pretext of a natural call, the two remaining occupants inside the auto brandished blades and threatened to slit his throat. They looted his mobile phone, ₹10,000 in cash, and other personal belongings. Two of the culprits Aman and Rahim were arrested shortly thereafter, but the third accused, Arbaaz, managed to flee and remained on the run until now.
