New Delhi: Delhi Police on Friday said that all remaining absconding accused persons in the assault case involving a Brigadier and his son have been arrested.
According to the police, the following accused, who had been on the run, have now been apprehended: Surjit Singh (36), a resident of Mehram Nagar; Sunil Sharma (53), also from Mehram Nagar; Ashish (32), a resident of Mehram Nagar; and Satender (35), a resident of Bhiwani, Haryana.
Police officials stated that Surjit Singh was known to the main accused, Satender. The group was reportedly sitting together in Mehram Nagar when Satender informed them about a quarrel in Vasant Enclave. Following this, all of them proceeded to the spot in Surjit’s white car. Upon reaching the location, an altercation took place, after which they returned to their residences.
However, after learning that a case had been registered, the accused fled their residences to evade arrest. They were later traced and apprehended by the police. The car used in the incident has been recovered, and further examination is currently underway.
Earlier, on April 14, the police had apprehended two accused and seized a Mercedes car allegedly used during the incident. One of them, Satender alias Sonu (49), is the son of Banwari Lal and a resident of Mehram Nagar. He is reportedly a director at Chaudhary Aviation Pvt Ltd, a company involved in chartered and cargo flight services, as well as the sale and purchase of aircraft and related parts.
The second accused, Sanjay Sharma (56), son of Laxmi Narayan Sharma, also resides in Mehram Nagar and runs a local eatery.
Meanwhile, Delhi Lieutenant Governor T. S. Sandhu expressed deep concern over the incident in Vasant Enclave, which involved the assault on the Brigadier, his wife, and their 23-year-old son, an IIT Delhi graduate. He stated that directions have been issued to ensure full security for the officer and his family.
The incident reportedly took place when the Brigadier stepped out for a walk with his son after dinner. Outside their residence, they noticed two individuals consuming alcohol in a parked white Mercedes car. When the officer objected, an argument broke out, following which the individuals allegedly called their associates, who then attacked the Brigadier and his son.
