A 22-year-old man, who was kingpin of the most active gang of robbers in west and north Delhi, has been arrested in connection with a case where he allegedly opened fire on a police official in 2016.
On January 20, a tip-off was received that Sagar alias Sai, would come near Bonta Park, said Ravindra Yadav, joint commissioner of police (crime).
A team led by ACP Sandeep Lamba, under the supervision of DCP (crime) Rajesh Deo was constituted to nab him.
"The raiding party, along with the informer, reached Bonta Park where Sagar was coming to meet one of his accomplices. He tried to flee but he was arrested," said the officer.
Sagar took to committing thefts, snatchings and robberies to fulfil his desire of having girlfriends and to live a lavish life, said the officer.
"During interrogation Sagar told police that in July 2016, he along with his accomplice Sunny was roaming in Tilak Nagar. On a petty argument with two individuals riding on a bike, and on the directions of Sunny, he shot at one of them and fled away. It later came to notice that the person whom he shot at was a policeman," said the officer.
Most of the people Sagar targeted were people who were coming out of metro stations who seldom reported the incidents.
