Jammu and Kashmir Police, in a joint operation with the Delhi Police, arrested three persons accused of multiple robberies late on Thursday evening, officials said. The accused were arrested in New Delhi through a meticulously planned joint operation by Kathua police and Delhi Police.
Police officials said that an FIR has been registered against the accused at North Dwarka police station in Delhi, and the trio was allegedly involved in several robbery cases in the national capital.
Officials identified the arrested individuals as Sahil, Anshul, and Himanshu. They said the accused had fled Delhi after committing the crimes and had taken shelter in Jammu and Kashmir. The identities of the arrested individuals were only revealed after they were confirmed by the officials on Friday.
The operation was carried out amid increased surveillance and checking near the Lakhanpur corridor, which serves as a crucial entry into Jammu and Kashmir.
Jammu and Kashmir Police have expanded their operations in recent times, not only cracking a whip against the interstate terror modules but also the drug syndicates spanning across multiple states in a bid to maintain peace and stability in the region.
