In a swift operation, the Delhi Police successfully apprehended five juveniles responsible for a daring knifepoint robbery in the northwest Delhi neighborhood of Azadpur. The crime unfolded on the night of August 5 when Jakir Ali, an Adarsh Nagar resident, encountered the young assailants en route to the Azadpur Subzi Mandi.

The five suspects ambushed Ali at around 9 pm. While two held him down, a third brandished a knife, threatening his life if he resisted. A fourth member snatched Ali's mobile phone before the group swiftly made their escape, according to police sources.

Despite the absence of direct CCTV footage of the crime, investigators painstakingly reviewed nearby cameras, ultimately leading them to the Tamatar Mandi area. This diligent tracking culminated in the identification and arrest of the youths, who have since confessed to the robbery as an attempt to earn quick money.
