Victims of road mishap in Delhi turn out to be thieves on the run, held
New Delhi (PTI): A routine call about a road accident in Delhi's Kapashera ended up exposing a trio of thieves, leading to their arrest and the recovery of stolen goods, police said on Monday.
The thieves were in the police station speaking to officers about the accident when the victim of the theft was registering his complaint, they said.
According to officials, a PCR call was received around 8.13 pm on Wednesday regarding a collision between a scooter and a car near Kapashera, they said.
"When a police team reached the spot, they noticed that the two men on the scooter seemed unusually nervous and eager to settle the matter quickly," a senior police officer said.
The duo -- identified as Rohit Ravidas (25) and Karamjeet (28), both residents of Sonia Gandhi Camp -- aroused further suspicion when one of them was found carrying a mobile phone that he couldn't unlock.
A few pointed questions from the team turned the supposed accident case into a crime investigation.
"During sustained questioning, the men confessed to having committed a house theft in the early hours of the same day in Gopalji Colony in Kapashera. They admitted to stealing a bag and three mobile phones from one Lal Chand," he added.
At their instance, the complainant's stolen bag was recovered, and police soon tracked down their associate, Pankaj (33), also from Sonia Gandhi Camp. He was found in possession of another stolen mobile phone that had been sold to him by the duo.
Police said Rohit and Karamjeet are habitual offenders who steal from houses and pass on the loot to Pankaj, who sells it and divides the proceeds. One of the stolen phones was said to be already sold, they said.
Investigations revealed that Rohit is involved in four previous cases, while Pankaj has two prior cases, police added.

New Delhi (PTI): Senior Congress leader Shashi Tharoor on Monday took a swipe at the "failed" US-Iran peace talks in Pakistan with an Urdu couplet, saying only god knows now what will happen.
"Ab kya hoga, ye rab jane; Na woh mane, na ye mane (only god knows what will happen now as both sides did not agree)," Tharoor said on X, tagging a post-talks video clip of US Vice President J D Vance, who led the American delegation at the negotiations in Islamabad.
The United States and Iran failed to reach a peace deal at their historic 21-hour talks in Pakistan, leaving the fate of a tenuous two-week ceasefire in doubt, with both sides attempting to hold each other responsible for the collapse of the negotiations.

Vance said the Iranian side did not accept Washington's terms for ending the war even as the US presented its "final and best offer".
Hours after the talks collapsed, US President Donald Trump said on social media that the negotiations with Tehran failed as "Iran is unwilling to give up its nuclear ambitions".
Trump said the US Navy will actively interdict any vessel in international waters found to have paid tolls to Iran for transiting through the Strait of Hormuz, a critical shipping route that handles roughly 20 per cent of global oil and LNG (Liquefied Natural Gas).
Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, the head of the Iranian negotiation team, said it is for the US to decide whether it can "earn our trust or not".
The Iranian foreign ministry, without elaborating, said the US side resorted to "excessive" and "illegal demands".
The failure to reach an agreement has dimmed the prospect of reopening the Strait of Hormuz to stabilise the global energy marke
