Delhi Police tracks robber through his travel vlogs, nabs him from UP
New Delhi(PTI): A month after a robbery in a house here, the burglar was arrested from Agra after police tracked his location through his travel vlogs, officials said on Sunday.
Sanjeev (29), a resident of Bindapur, robbed a house in Uttam Nagar on July 11, they said.
In his complaint, the house owner alleged that gold and silver jewellery were stolen from his house, a senior police officer said.
During the investigation, police analysed the CCTV footage of the nearby places and Sanjeev was seen leaving the complainant's house. His last location was traced in Uttarakhand's Haridwar and he used to switch off his mobile phone for hours to avoid detection, the officer said.
It was revealed that after committing the crime, Sanjeev went to a gold loan shop in Jeewan Park. When a police team visited the shop, it was found that the accused kept two gold rings and got cash of Rs 20,000 as a loan, Deputy Commissioner of Police (Dwarka) M Harsha Vardhan said.
Meanwhile, Sanjeev continued to upload travel videos on his Instagram account.
He reached Kappam in Kerela and posted another vlog on his account. Later, in order to distract the team, the accused, in his video, said that he is going to Dubai for work, the DCP said.
Sometime later, Sanjeev uploaded another vlog in which he mentioned that he was in Uttar Pradesh's Agra. The video was analysed and found that he took an e-rickshaw to Eidgah road in Agra. Police reached Agra and searched all the hotels on Eidgah Road and apprehended him, Vardhan said.
A total of Rs 16,000 was recovered from his possession. At his instance, a raid was conducted at Saharanpur and Abdul Malik (65) was apprehended from his residence. Sanjeev sold the stolen jewellery to Malik. The jewellery was recovered from his possession, police added.

Karnataka School Edu Dept prohibits children from being made to dance to obscene songs
Bengaluru (PTI): The Karnataka School Education Department has issued a circular strictly prohibiting children from being made to dance to obscene songs in educational and cultural programmes.
It stated that such dances would negatively impact students' mental health and moral values. It will create indiscipline and harm the sanctity of education.
"All the Deputy Directors (Administration) of the state's School Education Department have been asked to take strict measures to prevent children or students from dancing to obscene songs in all government, aided and unaided schools in the state," the office of the commissioner of the School Education Department said in a recent circular.
"If it is found that children are being made to dance to obscene songs, appropriate action will be taken against the headmaster or management of such school," it added.
The department also listed certain measures in this regard, which include: strictly prohibiting children from being made to dance to obscene songs during educational and cultural programmes; selecting songs that are inspiring, positive, instilling national pride in children and reflecting the greatness, dignity, values, culture, and morality of the state.
Stating that the school headmaster and management are responsible for selecting songs and dances for cultural programmes, it said, they should also ensure that students wear decent clothes in dance or cultural programmes.
