Notorious car thief had stolen many vehicles; had a reward of Rs 20,000

The city may have just become safer for your car.

Bachan Singh, 20, alias Behra, a notorious car thief, carrying a reward of Rs 20,000, was arrested by the Special Operations Squad of the Crime Branch, Delhi police, on Monday.

Bachan had come near the NSIT gate at Dwarka at about 8 pm to meet his accomplice. He was apprehended with a loaded 7.65 mm pistol and a Santro car (DL-8CN-0766). However, taking advantage of the darkness, two of his associates escaped the cops.

Singh and his gang members have been involved in a number of carjacking cases in the last several months.

"Bachan started by selling liquor illegally and later kidnapped a girl from the Gulabi Bagh area in 2008, for which he was jailed. After coming out of jail, he formed a gang and started committing car robberies and motor-vehicle thefts since he found it to be more lucrative," said Additional Commissioner of Police (Crime) Neeraj Thakur.
