Overview
- Delhi Police’s South District Anti-Auto Theft Squad arrested six suspects after an exchange of fire near the Jahapanah forest in Ambedkar Nagar.
- Three accused — identified as Nirmal Pardi, Ambar, and Samrat — were shot in the legs and are stable at the AIIMS Trauma Centre, according to police.
- Investigators link the group to the May 1 break-in at a Sarvodaya Enclave flat in Malviya Nagar where residents were locked in rooms and jewellery and cash were taken.
- Officers say they recovered stolen jewellery, pistols with ammunition, and specialised house-breaking tools including hydraulic cutters and bolt cutters.
- Police describe the detainees as an interstate Pardi outfit with roots in Madhya Pradesh and a 1990s record of night raids in undergarments, and they are now probing links to other Delhi cases and disposal networks.
