Delhi Police have arrested five proclaimed offenders who had been evading law enforcement despite being wanted in several criminal cases. The arrests were made during a targeted operation conducted by the Crime Branch, focusing on individuals with a history of non-appearance before courts and continuous involvement in illegal activities.
According to officials, the accused were wanted in cases related to theft, cheating, assault, and violations under various sections of the Indian Penal Code. Police teams carried out surveillance, verified intelligence inputs, and conducted raids across multiple locations in the national capital to trace their movements.
Investigators revealed that the offenders had been absconding for an extended period and were deliberately avoiding legal procedures. Their arrests are expected to aid the progress of pending trials and strengthen ongoing investigations linked to their past crimes.
Police officials said that a sustained crackdown on proclaimed offenders is part of ongoing efforts to enhance safety, reduce crime rates, and ensure accountability for habitual offenders. The Delhi Police have reiterated their commitment to intensifying search operations and bringing all absconding accused to justice.
