In a dramatic turn of events, Delhi Police arrested a notorious auto-lifter following a brief shootout and a high-speed chase through the bustling streets of Saket, located in the heart of Delhi. The accused, identified as Amir, hails from Bulandshahr in Uttar Pradesh, and has been involved in multiple criminal activities, primarily related to vehicle theft.

Amir, who has 27 criminal cases against him, was on the police radar for his repeated involvement in auto thefts across the National Capital Region (NCR). His extensive criminal record includes charges related to vehicle theft, robbery, and other criminal offenses. The police had been actively tracking Amir due to the rising number of auto-theft incidents linked to him, and his arrest marks a significant step in cracking down on organized crime in the region.

The arrest occurred after a tense shootout when Amir, attempting to evade capture, fired shots at the police officers. The police swiftly responded and managed to apprehend him after a short chase. During the altercation, Amir sustained injuries and was subsequently admitted to a nearby hospital for medical treatment.

According to Delhi Police officials, Amir's arrest is not only important for addressing auto-theft crimes but also for further investigations into his possible connections with larger criminal networks operating in the region. The authorities are working to recover stolen vehicles and determine whether Amir had any accomplices or if he was part of a bigger operation targeting vehicle theft across Delhi and its surrounding areas.

The police also confirmed that the investigation would delve deeper into the methods used by Amir and his associates in their criminal activities. Amir's connections to other potential criminals and stolen vehicle syndicates will be closely examined, as authorities look to dismantle the network responsible for these crimes. The police have expressed hope that Amir’s arrest could lead to the identification of other offenders involved in similar crimes.

In a separate and unrelated incident, Delhi Police also dealt with a hoax terror attack call made by a drunk auto driver, which led to a security scare in Pahalgam. This hoax call, made by a 51-year-old man, was later revealed to be the result of his anger over a pending challan. Though the call raised alarm, the police investigation determined that the man had been under the influence of alcohol and had fabricated the story in frustration over the fine.

The incident underscores the complexities of policing in a large urban area like Delhi, where officers must not only deal with genuine threats but also false alarms that can drain resources and cause unnecessary panic. Preventive actions have been taken against the auto driver involved in the hoax call, although no FIR has been filed as of yet.

The arrest of Amir is a significant milestone for Delhi Police as they continue to tackle vehicle theft and other forms of organized crime. The authorities are determined to press on with their efforts to bring all criminals involved in these networks to justice, ensuring a safer environment for the residents of Delhi and its neighboring regions.
