Delhi: History-sheeter wanted for gangrape nabbed by Crime Branch

New Delhi [India], April 28 (ANI): The Delhi Crime Branch's Northern Range-II (NR-II) team arrested a history-sheeter of PS Khyala, Javed alias Pawwa alias Sunny alias Bablu, aged 37, who was wanted in a gangrape case registered at PS Nabi Karim, Central District. He is a resident of Tagore Garden, New Delhi.
Acting on specific intelligence inputs about the whereabouts of the absconding accused, the Crime Branch laid a trap in the PS Wazirabad area. During the operation, when the raiding team intercepted Javed near Jagatpur Pusta, he opened fire on the police personnel. Despite the threat, they overpowered the accused after a brief scuffle, preventing any further shots.
The team recovered one pistol, one empty cartridge, and five live cartridges from the accused Javed.
Accordingly, a criminal case under the provisions of BNS, 2023, and the Arms Act has been registered and is being investigating.

Deputy Commissioner of Police, Crime Branch, Harsh Indora, stated that the operation was part of the Crime Branch's continuous efforts to curb criminal activities and apprehend hardened criminals.
Further investigations revealed that in May 2024, the complainant, a woman, had come in contact with an individual named Ankush. After a series of assaults and a miscarriage caused by Ankush, the woman alleged that in December 2024, Javed, a friend of Ankush, visited her home with a pistol and raped her at gunpoint. While Ankush was earlier arrested by the local police, Javed remained on the run, constantly changing his hideouts.
The accused, Javed, has a long criminal history, being involved in nearly three dozen cases under various serious charges. With his latest arrest, the police have foiled further criminal plans and ensured that a dangerous criminal has been brought to justice.
Further investigation on the case is underway. (ANI)
