Two police officers were stabbed while trying to arrest a man planning a robbery in Shahbad Dairy, Delhi. The incident occurred on Monday evening, prompting a swift response from the local police.
DCP (Outer-North) reported that Head Constable Kuldeep and Constable Neeraj were patrolling near Gupta Colony when they received information about the suspect, who was allegedly roaming the area with plans to commit a robbery.
Suspect Arrested After Violent Incident
The accused, Navin Yadav, who works at a government primary health centre in Daultabad, was taken into custody after a violent encounter. Yadav had reportedly used his Mahindra Scorpio to strike 43-year-old Tinku Pawar at least four times in a narrow alley late on Sunday night.
Tinku Pawar, a delivery executive for an online commerce platform, was critically injured in the attack. He lived in Gurugram’s Hayatpur and hailed from Chandpur in Dhani, Rewari.
