Delhi: In a significant breakthrough, the Crime Branch of Delhi Police has apprehended the key conspirator in a high-profile robbery case registered at Subhash Place Police Station in North-West District.
The accused, identified as Vishal Sain alias Vishu, was traced and arrested by a specialized team from the Central Range under the leadership of Inspector Gaurav Chaudhary and the supervision of ACP Pankaj Arora.
The robbery, which took place on June 12, 2025, had been registered under FIR No. 365/25 and involved serious charges under sections 309(4), 309(6), and 3(5) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS). Investigations revealed that Vishal was the principal planner behind the crime, executing it with calculated precision.
Targeted Operation and Arrest
Acting on credible intelligence inputs, a dedicated team consisting of SI Naveen Dahiya, SI Yaspal Tomar, SI Rishi, HC Ankit Kumar, and HC Anoop Kumar initiated an intensive probe.
The investigation included detailed analysis of call detail records (CDRs) and footage from CCTV cameras near the scene of the robbery. Based on technical surveillance, the accused’s movements were tracked to Ram Nagar in the Shahdara District.
On June 29, 2025, the team received a tip-off about Vishal’s presence near Ram Nagar Extension. A strategic operation was launched under the close supervision of ACP Pankaj Arora. Around 4:15 PM, the team successfully apprehended Vishal. During interrogation, he confessed to his role in the robbery and confirmed his identity.

A school dropout who completed education till class 10 from a government school, Vishal initially worked as a labourer. However, he soon veered into the world of crime and built a reputation as a habitual offender.
