Two cousins were out on a walk in North Delhi’s historic Qudsia Bagh when a group of three men and a teenager approached them. They told the duo that they were social media influencers and asked them to pose with the group for an Instagram reel. The cousins, both teenagers, obliged and the filming of reels began. After some time, the group asked the cousins to move to a corner for “better background and view”. As soon as the cousins obliged them again, one of the members of the group fished out a knife, stabbed one of the teenagers, and made off with the mobile phone of the other before fleeing from the spot.
The incident took place on June 19. Police have arrested a 19-year-old man and apprehended a juvenile in connection with the case Tuesday.
Police said they had received a PCR call about a stabbing from locals. The complainant, Rahil (16), had sustained stab injuries to his stomach. He said he was walking in the garden with his cousin Laraeb (15) when four unknown people approached them.
A senior police officer said, “The accused introduced themselves as social media influencers. They then lured the boys to make a reel with them on the pretext of gaining more followers. The boys agreed. The accused took the victims to a corner and one of the accused robbed Laraeb’s phone while another stabbed Rahil. They also tried to attack Laraeb but he manged to fend them off.”
The cousins were rushed to a hospital and their statements recorded. They were soon discharged and are stable now, said police.
During investigation, it was found that there were no CCTVs at the spot and the accused couldn’t be identified with the help of locals or informers.
A team led by Station House Officer (SHO), Civil Lines, Rajeev Kumar analysed more than 100 CCTVs near Qudsia Bagh and other markets. Based on CCTV mapping, it was suspected that the accused had come from the Trans-Yamuna area.
Sagar Singh Kalsi, Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP), North, said, “The team scanned over 200 CCTVs all around Delhi. The accused were then identified. Several raids were conducted and we found their addresses. A juvenile, aged around 15, was apprehended.”
Police said the boy revealed his associates had hatched the entire plan to “successfully rob” the victims.
“Their plan was to first approach the victims posing as influencers and convince them to participate in making reels. They also planned to make a separate reel of the incident to gain fame in the crime world. They wanted to show off their power… and decided to execute the plan at Qudsia Park,” added Kalsi.
Based on the juvenile’s questioning, one of the accused, Munna, was tracked down and arrested.
Two of his associates are still absconding. Police said they have been identified and will be arrested soon.
