Delhi Police Nab Alleged Mewat Gang Kingpin After Three-Year Hunt

Police say the arrest weakens the gang's leadership to aid probes into unsolved heists.

Overview

  • Arman, 26, was intercepted near the Nuh Court Complex on April 29, 2026 after leaving his village alone during a covert Crime Branch operation.
  • The team had embedded an undercover officer in Mewat for about six months and paired local intelligence with technical surveillance to track his movements.
  • Investigators describe Arman as the mastermind of night break-ins at mobile showrooms across Delhi-NCR, including a January 15–16, 2023 raid in Delhi Cantonment using a car with fake plates.
  • He had evaded capture for over three years, even after three accomplices were arrested in 2023 with stolen goods and the vehicle recovered, and was declared a proclaimed offender by Patiala House Court in June 2025.
  • Police say he remains in custody and is being questioned about robbery and theft cases registered in Haryana and Rajasthan that may connect to unsolved heists in the region.
