In a tragic incident that unfolded in the Ranhola area of outer Delhi, two innocent individuals lost their lives and another was injured due to a case of mistaken identity. The incident occurred on the fateful night of March 17, when a call reporting a bleeding person near a fish market in Harphool Vihar was received by the police around 10pm. Upon arrival at the scene, officers discovered Rajesh Kumar Yadav lying on the road, later identified as one of the victims. Mukesh Singh, the other victim, had already been rushed to the hospital by locals but unfortunately succumbed to his injuries upon arrival. Yadav, too, tragically passed away during his treatment at the hospital.
The deceased, Mukesh Singh, aged 33, and Rajesh Kumar Yadav, aged 25, were both residents of Kakrola. The suspects responsible for this heinous crime were identified as Gaurav Kumar, Keshri Kumar Pandey, Sandesh Kumar, and Gaurav Singh, who were subsequently arrested by the authorities. The motive behind the attack stemmed from an earlier robbery incident involving a friend of the suspects on March 15. Seeking retribution, the group mistakenly targeted Singh, Yadav, and another individual named Sonu, whom they encountered drinking in the area.
Deputy commissioner of police (outer) Jimmy Chiram confirmed that the arrested suspects confessed to their actions, citing confusion over the identities of the victims. Both the victims and the suspects had no prior criminal records, further highlighting the tragic nature of the incident. The proximity of the robbery and the attack locations in the same area led to the fatal misidentification.
The grieving family members of the deceased have been left shattered by the senseless act of violence. Pinki Devi, the mother of Mukesh Singh, expressed her anguish over the loss, emphasizing that her son was the sole provider for the family following her husband’s passing. Similarly, Rakesh Yadav, the brother of Rajesh Kumar Yadav, demanded stringent punishment for the perpetrators of this grave injustice.
As the investigation into the case continues, the police are actively pursuing leads to apprehend the individuals responsible for the initial robbery that triggered this tragic chain of events. The community remains in shock over the incident, underscoring the need for swift justice to be served in this heartbreaking case of mistaken identity..
