In an unexpected turn of events, two men who crashed their motorcycle in Delhi’s Rohini area were revealed to be thieves on the run, leading to their arrest. The incident, which occurred early Thursday, highlights how crime can take unpredictable turns in the city.
Accident Reveals Hidden Crime
Police identified the duo as Rakesh Kumar (28) and Sunil Mehta (31), who were speeding on a stolen bike when they hit a divider near Sector 16. While they escaped with minor injuries, their luck ran out when hospital staff found a bag containing stolen jewelry and ₹5 lakh in cash.
DCP Vikram Singh (Rohini) stated:
“The men acted suspiciously, refusing to reveal their identities. A quick check exposed their criminal activities.”
Police Uncover Larger Burglary Ring
Investigations linked the pair to a recent house break-in in Pitampura, captured on CCTV. Authorities believe they were escaping after the theft when the crash occurred.
“The accident was a fortunate break for us,” added DCP Singh. Police are now probing possible ties to other unsolved thefts in North Delhi.
Public Response and Increased Vigilance
Locals expressed shock over the brazenness of the thieves. Rohini resident Priya Sharma said:
“It’s alarming how criminals operate so freely. Thankfully, they were caught.”
Delhi Police have since ramped up patrols in the area. The suspects face charges under theft, criminal conspiracy, and possession of stolen property.
A Cautionary Tale for Criminals
The case proves that crime often backfires. What seemed like a minor accident became a major police breakthrough. Authorities urge citizens to report suspicious behavior promptly.
For Kumar and Mehta, their getaway ended not with a chase—but a crash that led straight to jail.
