Later on, the said Maruti Esteem car No.HR 29B 5350 was found abandoned in the area of PS Vasant Kunj (North) Delhi and was found stolen from village Munirka. INFORMATION, OPERATION AND TEAM:- Taking into account the series of robberies in a span of few hours and that too on the sensitive day of Elections, the SER unit of Crime Branch was tasked to develop criminal intelligence and nab the culprits. Accordingly, a team led by Inspr Kulbir Singh and comprising of SIs Ritesh Kumar, Sandeep Yadav, Vishal Choudhary, ASIs Kuldeep, Manoj, HCs Kartar, Jai Prakash, Satish, Santraj, Cts Prem, Vivek, Jitender, Lalaram, Raj Singh and Anil under the supervision of ACP Raja Ram Yadav and overall guidance of DCP Bhisham Singh was constituted to work out these cases.

A trap was laid near Jawahar Lal Nehru University Gate, Munirka and at the instance of the informer, four persons coming from the Munirka village were apprehended.

MODUS OPERANDI:-

On their detailed and thorough examination, they were found to be juveniles who were living in Saidulazab village, South Delhi. One of them had been earlier involved in a case of vehicle theft and remained in Juvenile Welfare Home for about 45 days. On coming out from the home, he constituted a gang under the name and style of “Ali Baba” and started stealing motorcycles and cars with the help of master keys. He learned from other inmates in “Observation Homes” that police can’t arrest juveniles and they cannot be treated like other criminals for the same offence, and they cannot be

2 detained in jails also etc. They were inspired by the Dhoom series of movies and tried to imitate same style/actions of the filmy villains while committing robberies on bikes. They further disclosed that on 04.12.2013, all of them went on a hunt and found a Maruti Esteem car at Munirka village. They opened it with the help of master key, and then started roaming in adjoining areas and robbed several people of their cash and mobile phones, in which the complainant too was robbed of his two mobile phones at the knife point. Later, they abandoned the Maruti Esteem in the area of PS Vasant Kunj (North), due to leakage of radiator. Later, four mobiles which were robbed by them on different occasions were also recovered from their possession and one R-15 Yamaha motorcycle was also recovered at their instance from a work shop at Lado Sarai. Further, more recoveries are likely to be affected from them.

All the above juveniles in conflict with law wanted to have fun and enjoy a lavish lifestyle, for which they started committing these heinous crimes. Influenced by the modern consumerist culture, they developed a special craze for new and powerful bikes. They used the money robbed from innocent people for purchasing expensive/branded clothes, etc.
