Caught in act, thieves call the cops
NEW DELHI: When in trouble, call the police even if you are a thief. Trapped inside an apartment they were burgling, with a crowd of 250 people waiting outside to teach them a lesson, three thieves decided that getting arrested was better than being lynched. They phoned the cops.
"Saab bachaa lo" was their SOS message to the police control room, which was duly passed on to the Tilak Nagar police station in west Delhi.
The cops arrived at the Tilak Vihar house where the thieves were holed up and 'rescued' them by promptly arresting the trio.
The bizarre turn of events took place on January 28. According to west district police, the burglars had targeted the home of a financier, Charanjeet Singh, at F Block DDA flats in Tilak Vihar.
"Singh was to attend a family wedding at Fateh Nagar and told his neighbour, Prashant Nanda alias Sunny, that he would either return very late or stay back at a relative's place," said a senior police officer from the Tilak Nagar police station.
Police said Sunny then called up his friends, Rishi and Jasvir Singh, and the three decided to break into the house, spread across the ground and first floors. They allegedly entered through the backdoor and two of them climbed onto the balcony to reach the first-floor bedroom.
