Gurgaon, August 13, 2024 — In a daring act of bravery, a 24-year-old woman from Gurugram’s Sushant Lok 1 in Sector 43 chased down and apprehended a delivery executive who had stolen her laptops. The suspect, identified as 38-year-old Dheeraj Kumar, was later handed over to the police and subsequently arrested.
The incident occurred on Saturday night when Dheeraj Kumar, a delivery executive for a popular food aggregator, was in the neighborhood to deliver food to another residence. After completing his delivery at around 10:00 PM, Kumar noticed that the ground floor flat where Deeksha Chauhan, a resident who works at a multinational firm in Sector 44, was locked and unattended. Seizing the opportunity, he broke into the flat.
The Chase and Arrest
At the time of the break-in, Chauhan had gone to the market to purchase groceries and other household items. She returned home with a friend at approximately 10:15 PM, only to find her main door wide open. Initially, she thought her landlord, who has a spare key, might be inside. However, upon closer inspection, she noticed that the lock had been broken.
Realizing something was amiss, Chauhan shouted to find out who was inside her flat. To her shock, a man immediately bolted out of the flat, pushing her as he fled. Without hesitation, Chauhan chased after the suspect for 150 meters before catching up to him. With the help of her friend, she managed to apprehend Kumar and prevent him from escaping until the police arrived.
The stolen laptops, which were found in Kumar’s possession, were recovered by the police. The officers praised Chauhan’s quick thinking and courage in apprehending the suspect.
Police Investigation
According to the police, Kumar had no prior criminal record, but they are investigating whether he was involved in similar incidents in the past. “This case highlights the importance of remaining vigilant and responding quickly in such situations. The bravery displayed by Deeksha Chauhan is commendable,” said a senior police official.
Kumar has been charged with theft and unlawful entry, and further investigation is ongoing.
Community Response
The incident has sparked discussions within the local community about safety and the importance of taking proactive measures to secure homes. Neighbors expressed their support for Chauhan, noting that her actions likely prevented further thefts in the area.
As the police continue their investigation, Chauhan’s courageous actions serve as a reminder of the power of quick thinking and determination in the face of adversity.
