New Delhi, Nov 22 (LatestNewsX) – In a quick and coordinated effort, Delhi Police solved a previously “blind” murder case less than a day after the FIR was lodged, securing the suspect’s arrest and amassing vital evidence, a police official said on Saturday.
The investigation centered on the death of 26‑year‑old Yogender of Nathupura, whose body was found in a drain at IP Colony on November 12. The situation first came to light when a missing‑person report was filed on November 6.
After the body was recovered from the IP Colony nala, a post‑mortem on November 17 confirmed the death was homicidal.
“Accordingly, a case FIR No. 548/2025 U/s 103 BNS was registered at PS Swroop Nagar, Delhi,” the Delhi Police said in its press note.
Under the guidance of SHO Alok Kumar Rajan, two specialised teams were assembled: one for technical surveillance and another for field intelligence.
The technical squad sifted through CCTV footage along several routes and identified a suspicious white Wagon‑R bearing a partial registration of 0250/3250. A CDR analysis added weight to this lead.
Simultaneously, the field unit conducted spot inquiries, interviewing relatives and acquaintances to gather further clues.
When the deceased’s family recognised the incomplete number, they confirmed it matched that of the victim’s brother‑in‑law, Anis Pal (35).
“The key breakthrough occurred when the car’s partial registration details were shared with the family, who identified the number as matching the vehicle of the deceased’s brother‑in‑law, Anis Pal,” the police said.
“Further analysis revealed Anis Pal was in contact with the deceased just before he went missing. Upon sustained and methodical interrogation, the suspect, Anis Pal, confessed to his involvement and was immediately arrested,” it added.
Police say Pal stabbed Yogender during a heated argument in his car on the night of November 5. He then removed the victim’s clothes and dumped the body in a nearby drain.
The following day, Pal washed the vehicle in an attempt to destroy evidence.
Recovered items include a blood‑stained knife, the Wagon‑R (HR55AU0250) marked with blood on the front seat, the suspect’s clothes worn during the crime, and CCTV footage capturing both the body’s disposal and the cleaning of the car.
Anis Pal has been produced before a court, which authorized a two‑day police custody period for further scrutiny, including an FSL examination of the seized exhibits.
“This case is a shining example of the Delhi Police’s unwavering professionalism and dedication,” said DCP Outer North district of Delhi, Hareshwar Swami.
