3 ‘drunk' men pose as Delhi cops, rob bike to experience thrill; arrested
Three men staged a heist in the national capital on Thursday by posing as Delhi Police personnel to allegedly seek a thrill. The police said the trio took away a security guard's bike near Aerocity, claiming that he was driving rashly. The three accused, Garvit Sharma, 25, Aniket Singh, and Prashanth Kumar, were arrested in different parts of Delhi on Friday. The victim, Amarpal Singh, 47, an Etah native and a security guard with GMR RAXA at Worldmark II in Aerocity, made a PCR call around 7.30 pm on Thursday. 'The complainant stated on June 26, 2025, around 7.10 pm, while he was on his way to Aerocity riding his Splendor, he was stopped near the Mahipalpur underpass by three individuals on another motorcycle. These individuals falsely claimed to be police officers and accused him of rash driving,' Usha Rangnani, Additional Commissioner of Police (ACP), Indira Gandhi International, said. One of the accused reportedly snatched the key to Amarpal Singh's Splendor bike and hurled abuses at him when he asked the three to show some ID. Aniket Singh then slapped Amarpal Singh as Prashanth Kumar rode away on his bike. The other two, Garvit Sharma and Aniket Singh, followed Prashanth Kumar on the black bike that they arrived on. 'During the course of the investigation, all available CCTV cameras at and around the scene of the incident were meticulously examined. Three specialised teams were constituted under the leadership of Inspector Sumit, Inspector Satish, and Inspector Avdesh, and an analysis of approximately 250 to 300 CCTV cameras spread across the possible routes of the accused was done,' Rangnani said. The police said that CCTV footage revealed the registration number of the bike on which the robbers came. The bike was found to be registered in the name of a man named Siddharth, a resident of Shakarpur. Siddharth, during the investigation, revealed that he lent his bike about a year ago to his friend, Garvit Sharma. The police raided Sharma's house, but found that he was missing. Based on intelligence, Sharma was finally tracked at his hideout in Palam. Thereafter, Aniket Singh was arrested in Kishangarh, while Prashanth Kumar was nabbed in Dashrath Puri. 'Garvit and Prashant travelled to Kishangarh on Garvit's motorcycle on June 26 (Thursday). There, they called Aniket, and the three friends decided to consume alcohol together. As per their plan, they purchased a bottle of liquor from a nearby shop and consumed it in a park. While under the influence of alcohol, Prashant, reportedly intoxicated, expressed a desire to do something 'thrilling'. Acting on this impulse, they conspired to rob a motorcycle by impersonating police officers,' Rangnani said.
