In a dramatic crackdown that seems straight out of a Bollywood thriller, Delhi Police has apprehended a notorious sibling duo operating in the style of the infamous 'Bunty and Babli' from the popular Hindi film. The brother-sister pair had been terrorizing residents across the capital with their chain snatching spree.
The Modus Operandi
The siblings, whose real identities have been kept confidential for investigative reasons, employed a carefully planned strategy to target unsuspecting victims. According to police sources, the duo would typically operate during evening hours when visibility was lower and people were returning home from work or shopping.
The sister would act as the lookout while the brother executed the actual snatching, creating a perfect criminal partnership that had proven difficult to track until now.
Police Breakthrough and Recovery
After multiple complaints poured in from different areas of Delhi, a special team was formed to track down the perpetrators. Through meticulous investigation and surveillance, the police finally zeroed in on the siblings.
In a major breakthrough, authorities successfully recovered four gold chains worth significant value from the accused. The recovery has brought relief to multiple victims who had lost their precious jewelry to the daring duo.
Rising Chain Snatching Incidents in Delhi
This arrest comes at a time when chain snatching incidents have seen an alarming rise in the national capital. The easy resale value of gold jewelry and the quick getaway possibilities in crowded areas make this a preferred crime for many offenders.
Police officials have advised citizens, particularly women and elderly people, to remain vigilant while wearing expensive jewelry in public places. They've also recommended avoiding isolated routes during early morning or late evening hours.
The successful apprehension of this sibling duo sends a strong message to criminals that Delhi Police is intensifying its efforts to make the city safer for its residents.
