Delhi Police Cracks Down on Organised Crime, Attaches Assets Worth ₹5 Crore in Bharat Nagar Case

New Delhi, April 17, 2026: In a significant action against organised crime, the Anti Auto Theft Squad of North West District, Delhi Police has attached and frozen illegal assets worth approximately ₹5 crore belonging to accused Jitender alias Jeetu and his wife Jyoti in connection with FIR No. 270/2025 registered at Bharat Nagar police station.

Officials stated that the operation was carried out under the supervision of senior police officers of the Northern Range and Zone 1, marking a major step in targeting financially motivated criminal networks operating in the region.

The case relates to organised criminal activities registered under relevant provisions of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita. Investigators found that the accused, a known habitual offender since 2004, had been involved in multiple serious criminal cases including murder, attempted murder, arms related offences and illegal gambling activities. He had also been declared a bad character of the area and was externed earlier this year.

During the investigation, police identified assets suspected to have been acquired through proceeds of crime and initiated legal proceedings under the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita. An interim attachment of properties, vehicles and bank accounts was first issued in December 2025, which has now been upheld by the court of Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate in Rohini Courts on April 10, 2026, confirming the freeze until the completion of trial.

The attached assets include multiple immovable properties in Bunkar Colony, Delhi, covering entire residential buildings and floors, along with high value vehicles such as a Mahindra Thar Roxx and a Toyota Fortuner. Several bank accounts across major financial institutions have also been frozen.

Investigators further noted that the accused has been linked to around fifteen criminal cases spanning gambling offences, preventive detentions and violent crimes across different police jurisdictions in Delhi.

Police also stated that the wife of the accused played a role in concealing illicit wealth by holding properties in her name, thereby acting as a conduit for suspected proceeds of crime.

Authorities described the action as a major financial setback to the organised crime network, effectively dismantling its economic base and sending a strong deterrent message to repeat offenders operating in the area.
