The Delhi Police successfully apprehended Manoj, a convicted murderer and repeat parole violator, using a honey trap. For a considerable time, Manoj had been eluding capture.
In a meticulously planned operation, a police officer masqueraded as an actress on social media, enticing Manoj to travel from Mumbai to South Delhi for a clandestine meeting with his supposed love interest, leading to his arrest, as reported by the police on Friday.

A team from the Crime Branch created a fictitious profile of a Mumbai-based actress to draw the fugitive gangster into their trap. After several months of communication, they finally apprehended him in South Delhi, according to Deputy Commissioner of Police (Crime) Aditya Gautam.

Gautam further explained that Manoj has an extensive criminal record and is wanted by the police in Delhi, Haryana, and Rajasthan for multiple serious offenses, including murder and robbery. He is reportedly a member of the Gaggi gang and closely associated with infamous gangster Deepak, facing numerous charges, including those under the Maharashtra Control of Organised Crime Act (MCOCA) and the murder of rival gangster Tillu Tajpuria within Tihar Jail.

The DCP revealed that the police learned of Manoj’s active presence on social media. To apprehend him, two head constables created a fake account, posing as a model and actress from Mumbai. After several weeks of conversation, they successfully arranged a meeting in Safdarjung Enclave.

When he arrived at the designated location, the officers swiftly arrested him and seized two sophisticated firearms from his possession, the DCP stated.

National: One year after the deadly terror attack in Pahalgam, the nation remembers the 26 people who lost their lives. The attack took place on April 22 at Baisaran, a popular tourist spot.

At first, reports said only five people were injured. Later, it became clear that it was one of the worst terror attacks in the region in decades. Terrorists came out of the forest and opened fire on tourists.

Survivors said the attackers separated men from women and children. They then shot the men at close range. Many victims were reportedly targeted after being asked about their religion.

A heartbreaking image of Himanshi Narwal sitting beside her husband’s body became a symbol of the tragedy. Her husband, a naval officer, was among those killed.

The group The Resistance front, linked to Lashkar-e-Taiba, claimed responsibility. The case was investigated by the National Investigation Agency.

After months of tracking, security forces launched Operation Mahadev. On July 28, 2025, all three terrorists were killed after a long search operation.

The attack remains a painful memory and a reminder of the need for strong security.
