Youth arrested for carjacking, aide on the run
His dream of living a lavish lifestyle without much pains landed a 27-year-old graduate, who was arrested on Tuesday for allegedly robbing a car from a taxi driver along with his friend, in jail.
Mohit Kapoor was arrested Tuesday morning from south Delhi on charges of robbing a vehicle in Dwarka Sunday night after beating up the driver, the police said.
The police action came on a complaint by Sunil Singh that his vehicle was stolen by two youth who got into his car near Palam flyover and dumped him after beating him up severely.
After three hours of efforts, the police spotted the vehicle in south Delhi and stopped the car but the person at the wheel tried to flee.
“The police party chased the car which was intercepted after some distance where one of the occupants managed to flee from the spot and the other was overpowered,” a senior police official said.
On sustained interrogation the accused revealed that he and his associate had committed the crime. His associate, who hails from Punjab, was residing with him in his house, the official said.
Mohit had earlier been involved in several cases of theft.

A city court on Tuesday sentenced a city industrialist to one-year rigorous imprisonment and slapped on him a fine of `42 lakhs for theft of electricity of over 55 KW for industrial purposes.
“The load is more than 10 KW and (the) fine imposed should not be less than three times of the financial gain on account of theft of electricity. The bill is raised for a sum of `16,91,997. Hence, convict is sentenced to undergo rigorous imprisonment for one year with a fine of `25,37,995 and in default of payment of fine to undergo SI (simple imprisonment) for 3 months,” additional sessions judge Suresh Kumar Gupta (Special Court of Electricity, Dwarka) said in the order.
A raid by the BSES Rajdhani Power Limited (BRPL) enforcement team in 2007 had found the industrial unit in Mundka engaged in the manufacture of plastic pellets and having a connected load of over 55 KW. A fake three-phase electro-mechanical meter was also seized.
