The increase in the occurrence of street crimes that have even led to casualties at times have unnerved the residents of the national Capital and have somewhat lost faith in the system. But one head constable took it upon himself to rid the streets of crime and his exemplary courage certainly needs a mention.

South District's head constable Manoj was on his two-wheeler, going to report on his police post for the day at the Sarojini Nagar Police Station from his residence at Police Colony in Malviya Nagar at 6 am on Tuesday, when he encountered a gang of robbers who were robbing one pedestrian off his belongings.

"I was on my way to the Sarojini Nagar police station in the morning, when I saw six boys surrounding a pedestrian with three motorcycles, thrashing and threatening him with a knife. I intervened and got hold of one in the lot. The rest of the boys ran fearing for their lives but left behind a motorcycle. I aided to the victim and brought him to the Saket Police Station to register a complaint against the gang," said Manoj, speaking with DNA.

Following the apprehension of one accused from the spot, a police team was formed which busted the gang. The accused have been identified as Karanbeer alias Ashish, Sourabh, Nitesh, Chirag and Ankit along with one minor.

On sustained interrogation, the gang members revealed that they were all friends and would consume drugs together, but lack of money to fulfill their requirements led them to commit these crimes. They would roam around in groups on bikes and corner gullible people.

The police have recovered seven snatched mobile phone, one laptop, one wallet with an ATM Card and three two-wheelers. The arrest of the accused persons also helped police solve seven previous cases that they were involved in.
