INTRODUCTION:-

Crime Branch of Delhi Police has busted a gang of desperate robbers/snatchers active in the area of South-West District and arrested four members of this gang including gang leader Pardeep Dogra after an encounter in sector-11, Dwarka and 6 cases of robbery, snatching and motorcycle theft of different police stations of South-West District have been worked-out.  One .32 bore pistol with 3 live & 1 fired cartridges, two .315 bore country made pistols with 5 live cartridges, one stolen Pulsar motorcycle and cash Rs.40,000/- have been recovered from their possession.

All the accused were put to sustained interrogation.  During interrogation, it was revealed that the accused Pardeep Dogra (aged 25 years) is the gang leader. He was earlier arrested in a case of abduction and carjacking of PS Palam Village in 2012.  His other associates Dinesh Bairva @ KD, Sanjay @ Sonu Peter, Amit and Shahid Ali had looted a TATA Sumo from Palam flyover after abducting its driver and taken to Mathura (UP), where they were arrested by the police of PS Chhata, Mathura, UP during checking on NH-1. The looted TATA Sumo was also recovered from their possession and the abducted driver was got released by the police of PS Chhata, Mathura. In this case, accused Dinesh @ KD got released on bail 4 months back while accused Pardeep Dogra was released from Tihar Jail on 30.10.2013.

 

After coming out of jail, accused Pardeep Dogra arranged a fully furnished rented flat in sector-3, Dwarka at Rs. 5,500/- per month and re-organized his gang. During last month, he alongwith his associates committed a robbery of Rs. 60,000/- on knife point in the area of PS Delhi Cantt, one chain snatching from a lady in a marriage party, one cash/phone snatching from a boy and 3 bike thefts in the area of PS Palam Village. The gang was in the process of being equipped with stolen bikes and enough arms & ammunition for committing big loots in near future.

For this purpose, he purchased an automatic pistol and 2 good quality country made pistols of .315 bore with ammunition through one co-prisoner of jail in UP, who belonged to that area of UP.  He paid Rs.25,000/- for the pistol and 11,000/- for both country made “Kattas” which were earned by them while committing crime.   

Alongwith his associates, he also stole three new Pulsar motorcycles from the area of PS Palam on 01, 03 & 07.12.2012 for use by his gang members to commit crime.  But one of the motorcycle had to be abandoned by him on road as PCR Gypsy started chasing them while the other was left abandoned by them in the area of PS Palam, as its fuel was finished immediately after theft.

Accused Pardeep Dogra was born in Palam colony in a middle class family. His father was a loader at Palam Airport. He was not able to continue his studies after 8th standard, as both his parents died early, when he was only 12 years old. He has two brothers who are living separately and are not having good relations with him.

The other 3 arrested accused persons Dinesh @ KD, Om Prakash and Kuldeep @ Hakla are real brothers. Their father expired long ago. Dinesh is a close friend of accused Pardeep Dogra and he remained associated with him in the case of abduction and carjacking of PS Palam as well as an Arms Act case of PS Chhata, Mathura.

During the time spent in jail, his brother Kuldeep @ Hakla and Om Prakash also came in contact with Pardeep Dogra and got inspired to commit sensational crimes and earn lot of money. Kuldeep Hakla and Om Prakash are basically burglars as Kuldeep is previously involved in 6 cases and Om Prakash is previously involved in 3 cases of house theft/burglary, Arms Act etc. of different police stations of South-West District.  Accused Om Prakash is also working as carpenter in the furniture market of Kirti Nagar.
