In a key development, the Inter-State Cell (ISC) of the Crime Branch, Delhi Police, has arrested a desperate robber and proclaimed offender who was on the run for five years. The offender has been identified as Rajat Tomar @ Rajbir. He is a resident of Madipur in West Punjabi Bagh. He was on the run since 2021 and was declared a proclaimed offender in three criminal cases across different courts. He had been changing his hideouts across Delhi, Uttar Pradesh, and the NCR region. Rajat was adopting a new name, “Rajbir,” to evade arrest.
Who Was Rajat Tomar?
Rajat Tomar, alias Rajbir, is a 45-year-old man, a resident of the Madipur area in West Punjabi Bagh. He is a Delhi University graduate. Rajat has been previously involved in cases linked to robbery, hurt, and arms. In Delhi and Gurugram, three cases have been registered under his name, where he was declared a proclaimed absconder. Rajat had been frequently changing his hideouts across Delhi, NCR, and Uttar Pradesh. He has been on a run for five years, i.e., since 2021. He was also using a false name, “Rajbir,” to evade arrest.
Operation & Investigation:
The Delhi Crime Branch shared the details about the operation through a post on their official X account. According to the details, the team that carried out the operation was led by Inspector Shivraj Bisht under ACP Ramesh Lamba and under the overall supervision of DCP Shri Aditya Gautam. The extensive manhunt for Rajat Tomar started with field inquiries in Delhi, NCR, and Uttar Pradesh’s Baghpat village (Rajat’s native village).
After gathering sustained intelligence, it came to light that Rajat had been hiding in Punjabi Bagh under the false name “Rajbir.” The team conducted a swift and coordinated raid in West Punjabi Bagh based on the input provided by SI Sanjay Kumar, which led to the successful apprehension of Rajat Tomar.
While being interrogated, Rajat confessed that due to repeated conduct of criminal activities, his parents disowned him from all movable and immovable property. To evade the court trials, he frequently shifted his hideout bases between Baghpat, Narela, Uttam Nagar, and Punjabi Bagh. He never stayed at one place for more than 3-4 months. Rajat admitted that he used a false name, “Rajbir,” to conceal his identity and evade arrest.
After Rajat’s arrest, the concerned police stations have been informed of the
necessary legal proceedings. Further investigation remains underway.
