In a shocking case that has exposed a new method of robbery on Delhi roads, a family traveling from the Capital to Karnal on Friday became victims of a well-planned heist near Adarsh Nagar flyover. The robbers allegedly used a chemical spray on the cars windscreen which further spread in the car, causing severe irritation and itching to the passengers and forcing them out, before snatching a handbag containing cash, a mobile phone, and diamond jewelry. Despite having tracked the location of the stolen phone through a mobile app and informing the police, the family claims no concrete action has been taken yet. According to the FIR registered at Adarsh Nagar Police Station, the incident occurred around 8:10 pm on MG Road. The complainant, Dyanchand Singh, 70, a resident of Karnal, stated that two young men on a motorcycle came close to their white Toyota Crysta car and sprayed an unknown chemical on the vehicles windscreen while the car was moving along the heavily trafficked stretch. The chemical, once circulated through the air conditioning vents, caused severe irritation, suffocation, and itching, forcing the passengers to halt the vehicle and exit in panic. As the family members stood by the roadside trying to understand what had happened, the same two bike-borne individuals returned at high speed and snatched the handbag from one of the women before fleeing in the opposite direction. The bag reportedly contained an iPhone, cash, important documents including Aadhaar, PAN and ATM cards, and diamond rings. As per the complainant, his son, using a family tracking app installed on the stolen phone, was able to trace its last known location to an area in East Delhi. The family immediately reported this information to the police, hoping for swift action. However, they allege that even after sharing the specific location of the suspects, no visible effort has been made by Delhi Police to either recover the stolen items or apprehend the culprits. A case under Sections 304(2) and 35 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita has been registered. According to the duty officer and officials from PS Adarsh Nagar, a team has been formed, and efforts are ongoing to trace the accused. We are investigating all aspects of the case and following all leads, including the location shared by the victims family, said a police official.
