New Delhi, Sep 23 Demonstrating swift action and effective policing, the Delhi Police have successfully solved a robbery case within 12 hours of the incident and arrested two young men, both students of Delhi University..

The team from Police Station Kalindi Kunj apprehended the two and recovered the robbed mobile phone along with the weapon used in the crime, a steel kada.

According to a press release issued by the Deputy Commissioner of Police, South-East District, the arrested accused have been identified as Sandeep Singh (21) and Saurabh Singh (19), both residents of Jaitpur, Delhi. While Sandeep is a third-year BA Programme student, Saurabh is pursuing B.Com (2nd year) from DU’s School of Open Learning. Both have no prior criminal records.

The incident occurred on September 21 around 7 p.m., when the complainant, Rohit (33), was returning home on his motorcycle. He accidentally came into contact with a white car. The occupants of the vehicle, later identified as the accused, exited the car and demanded Rs 5,000 for the alleged damage.

“When the complainant refused to pay, they became aggressive. One of them struck the complainant on the head with a steel kada and snatched his mobile phone, while the other restrained him,” the press note stated.

A case (FIR No. 609/2025) was promptly registered, and a special team led by SI Satyam Bhardwaj, SI Parveen, HC Bharat, and Ct Altaf, under the supervision of SHO/Kalindi Kunj, was formed to investigate the matter.

The team used local intelligence and examined CCTV footage from the scene and surrounding areas to identify and locate the accused. Within hours, both suspects were arrested, and the stolen mobile phone as well as the steel kada used in the assault were recovered.

During interrogation, the duo claimed it was an impulsive act and that they had no prior intent to commit robbery or cause harm.

The DCP South-East lauded the swift action and coordinated efforts of the Kalindi Kunj police team, emphasising the department’s commitment to ensuring public safety and swift justice.
