Delhi Police Bust Alleged Honey-Trap Gang, Arrest Four Including Serving Army Subedar

Police say a serving Army subedar is among four held, signaling a probe across Delhi, Uttar Pradesh and Haryana.

Overview

  • Delhi Police say the May 2 honey-trap abduction of a 72-year-old at Sainik Farms led to four arrests and the recovery of cash, jewellery, documents, the car and an air gun.
  • Investigators say a woman known to the victim lured him inside, after which accomplices overpowered him and looted about Rs 5 lakh with rings and cards.
  • The kidnappers drove toward Meerut and, after a failed Rs 50 lakh demand, left him near the Delhi–Mumbai Highway in Haryana.
  • A PCR call reached Neb Sarai police on May 3, prompting a case under the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita for kidnapping, robbery, assault and criminal conspiracy.
  • Police caught two suspects in Mathura after a 36-hour chase and later nabbed two more in Haryana, identified one as a serving Army subedar, and are probing past offences and his duty status.
