NEW DELHI: Nirmallya Roy Chowdhury, a 53-year-old resident of Chittaranjan Park, displayed remarkable courage when he encountered two suspects during an attempted burglary in a vacant flat on the first floor of his building. Despite sustaining deep cuts to his left shoulder and knee during a physical altercation with the masked men, Roy Chowdhury pursued them in an attempt to catch them.
The incident took place on Sunday evening when Roy Chowdhury, who works as a bank consultant, was informed by a woman that the door of the flat above his was open. Since the owners of the flat reside in Mumbai, Roy Chowdhury had the keys to check on the property. Upon entering the flat, he found two youths coming out and confronted the duo, a senior police official said.
Soon, a scuffle ensued, which left Roy Chowdhury injured. Undeterred, he chased the men down the stairs, eventually causing them to fall. He managed to grab hold of one of the men, identified as Nafish, a resident of New Seelampur. “Some passersby heard his shouts. They chased and caught the suspect,” the official said.
The other suspect, however, escaped with the help of an associate waiting on a scooter. The police were alerted to the housebreaking through a PCR call around 6pm and have registered a case under various sections of Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) at the CR Park police station. A senior police officer said raids are being conducted to apprehend the remaining accused.
Residents of CR Park have expressed concern over the rising instances of break-ins in the area. The incident took place just a day after a burglary in south Delhi’s Vasant Kunj, where a bureaucrat and his wife were injured by a knife-wielding intruder who was later arrested.
Roy Chowdhury’s bravery and quick thinking has highlighted the importance of community vigilance and the need for increased security measures in residential areas. The incident served as a crucial reminder for residents to remain alert and report any suspicious activities to the authorities.
