Delhi Police had identified an accused from a picture which was posted on Facebook by his accomplice. The picture helped the police to arrest the accused within 48 hours, who was involved in the case of robbing a cab.
Victim Chandra Pal, who is an Ola cab driver, told the police that he was heading back to his home on the night of November 4 in southeast Delhi, when two people stopped his car and asked him to drop them to Gurugram.
Police said that both of them took out their knives, when Chandra Pal refused to drop them and snatched the keys of his car and fled with it.
Chandra Pal quickly informed the police about the whole incident. Meanwhile, after a few minutes the police received another information about a car accident which took place near Goyla Dairy traffic signal.
It turned out to be the same car which was robbed from Chandra Pal and an injured man, identified as Ashish Danda (22), was found in the car, when the police reached the spot. He was identified as one of the robbers and was immediately rushed to a hospital but could not be saved.
The police official said that there was no trace of his partner. While interrogating, police came across Danda’s Facebook profile. Everyone was surprised to see that Danda had put someone else’s profile picture instead of his own.
The police official further added in his statement that the person in the profile picture was identified as Ravinder alias Nanhe, the other robber. He was tracked down by the police and was arrested from Gurugram.
He had earlier been arrested by the Gurugram Police in connection with the rape of a minor. He had also spent six months in the Bhondsi Jail, Gurugram.
