Delhi Police Arrest All Six in Vasant Enclave Assault on Brigadier’s Family

The case shifts to evidence review with CCTV checks alongside an inquiry into the first police response.

Overview

  • Delhi Police, which arrested four more suspects Friday, now say all six accused are in custody in the assault case involving an Army brigadier and his family.
  • The clash began Saturday night after the officer and his son objected to two men drinking in a parked Mercedes outside their Vasant Enclave home, and the wife reported abuse when she tried to intervene.
  • Investigators have seized the Mercedes linked to the confrontation and recovered a white Hyundai Aura said to have ferried four men to the spot, while teams examine CCTV to fix individual roles.
  • An FIR cites multiple sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, including provisions for voluntarily causing hurt, wrongful restraint, criminal intimidation, rioting, unlawful assembly, and insulting a woman’s modesty.
  • Police opened an internal inquiry into lapses in the initial response as the Delhi Lieutenant Governor ordered security for the family, and two earlier arrestees released on bail are being questioned daily and described as evasive by investigators.
