A gang of bikers is on the prowl in the high-security Parliament Street area of Lutyens’ Delhi, targeting a senior official of railway ministry and a businessman within the space of a few days while the police is groping for a clue to the identities of the assailants.
In the first incident reported on Monday, Anjula Rani, a senior telephone operator with the ministry of railways informed the police that she had left her Nirankari Colony residence for her office at Rail Bhavan in an autorickshaw when two bikers intercepted her vehicle on Ashoka Road and snatched her bag containing a mobile phone, bank cards, cash and some other valuables. The sources said the victim tried to put up a resistance in vain. She later approached the Parliament Street police station and got a complaint lodged.
In the second incident, which took place last Friday, Bhushan Oberoi, who co-owns Oberoi Electric Co, was going with his brother to his Rajouri Garden residence in a car when their vehicle was intercepted by a biker who told them that their car was punctured.
“I asked the driver to stop the car near Baba Kharak Singh Marg and he started changing the tyre. When he finished, we got back into the car to find that a bag containing cash, valuables and some important documents was missing from the car following which I called the police control room,” he told the police.
The police has registered cases in both the incidents but is clueless about the identity of the assailants and no arrests have been made so far.
