The Delhi Police have arrested three men for allegedly stealing a luxury car last week from south Delhi’s Fatehpur Beri after receiving a crucial piece of information from the complainant.
The accused — Sundar Tanwar, Veer Singh and Azam — allegedly made off with the car after threatening to shoot the complainant Shakul, a driver with a car dealer in Faridabad, and Rashid, his brother. The incident took place when they were transporting six luxury cars from Faridabad to their showroom in Chandanhaulla.
Low fuel
Mr. Shakul had told the police that the vehicles that were being transported had only 2-3litres of petrol. Based on this information, the police then checked CCTV footage of all the petrol pumps in the vicinity and found a suspect who had purchased 5 litres of petrol on the said date.
“It was strange because in rural areas people generally use diesel for agricultural purposes and do not buy petrol in bulk,” said DCP (South) Ishwar Singh.
The police said that after being detained for questioning, Azam revealed the involvement of the other two accused.
