The Delhi Police's Crime Branch has arrested the prime suspect in the sexual assault of a 15-year-old boy, which occurred in October 2024. The accused, a 30-year-old barber, was previously declared a proclaimed offender by a city court last December. The assault was severe, involving a blade, and left the victim unconscious. Following the incident, the boy was taken to a nearby hospital for treatment. While three other suspects were apprehended in 2024, the main suspect managed to evade capture until recently. The police registered a case under the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act and the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS). The Crime Branch's New Delhi Range team gathered intelligence and set a trap in Palam village, leading to the suspect's arrest.
