The Delhi Police have arrested a 31-year-old man, formerly working as a Civil Defence volunteer during the coronavirus pandemic, for allegedly stealing several two-wheelers from the Trans-Yamuna areas.

DCP (Shahdara) Rohit Meena said during patrolling in Shahdara, a police team signalled a person on a Scooty to stop for checking but he tried to escape. Subsequently, a police team chased and overpowered him. “He was asked to produce its documents but could not,” Meena said.

After verification, the police found that the Scooty was stolen from Shahdara and the accused was identified as Mudit Sharma. Sharma was arrested.

During interrogation, Sharma disclosed that he is an auto lifter and had stolen many two-wheelers from the Trans-Yamuna area. At his instance, nine more Scooties were recovered from his possession.
