New Delhi, Apr 29 (PTI) A burglar was arrested following an encounter with the Delhi Police here on Friday, police said.
A police team laid a trap to nab the accused who had reportedly committed crimes in the CR Park area in the last few weeks, a senior police officer said.
“On Friday morning, five such criminals were intercepted by police inside the Jahanpanah city forest. They attacked the police team with knives and escaped,” Deputy Commissioner of Police (south) Benita Mary Jaiker said.
