Dreaded Highway Robbers Nazim and Rajan Tyagi Arrested

On receipt of a secret input regarding desperate Highway Robbers who pose as officers of  Sales Tax and Excise Departments, the Special Cell of Delhi police     has apprehended two criminals namely 1) Nazim@ Pravesh age, 35yrs s/o Lt. Moh. Rafiq,  r/o Vill. Dabarsi,Distt. J.P. Nagar, UP along with his associates namely (2) Rajan Tyagi, age 31 yrs, s/o Nonidh Singh, r/o Vill. Dabarsi, Distt. J.P. Nagar, UP.

                   On 28.08.15, a secret information was received that two members of Nazim gang ie.  Kingpin Nazim himself alongwith his close associate Rajan Tyagi, who posed as Govt officials of the departments of sales Tax and Excise Tax,  are involved in highway robberies of  copper-wire laden  vehicles, would come near Gagan Cinema. On this information, ACP Amit Kumar Singh constituted  a team of officers of Special Cell led by Inspector Dinesh Arya and was  despatched to Gagan Cinema along with the informer. After sometime one of the robbers got off from a public transport bus near Gagan Cinema and immediately on pointing out by the informer, was taken into the custody. During questioning it was revealed that he is Rajan Tyagi and his boss Nazim has stayed back at his house in Sahibabad. On this revelation the team moved to DLF Sahibabad at Nazim’s House where he was found. He tried to resist the arrest but was overpowered.

          The sustained interrogation of both accused persons has led to disclosures that how the gang identifies the potential victim and then they would study the routine and pattern of delivery and dispatch of copper wire from the factory. When such consignment leaves the factory premises and reaches a lonely stretch on highway then the gang intercepts the loaded vehicle and after introducing themselves as Tax officials, commands the driver to show the challan and other papers regarding payment of  excise  duty. They would make the driver believe that there is violations of rules and regulations and evasion of Government Taxes. They would order the copper rolls laden vehicle to be taken to their office. The nervous driver and cleaner are further scared by them at gun point and asked to flee. The gang would then take the copper wires and abandon the vehicle far away from the scene of crime. Some times, they would also abduct the driver and cleaner also  and leave them at isolated places. They have further revealed about their other associates named Rahul, Bharat , Saddam and Ashish, who are presently absconding.  Saddam is the real brother of Nazim.
