Delhi Police Promote Constable Kartar Singh After Armed Clash With Burglary Suspects

The out-of-turn elevation follows an August chase that police say exposed a burglary ring now under wider investigation.

Overview

  • Police Commissioner Satish Golchha on September 3 felicitated Singh at headquarters and elevated him to head constable for his actions.
  • Singtle-handed during a 4 a.m. patrol on August 1, Singh pursued three suspects for roughly 30 minutes from Asiad Village to Khel Gaon.
  • Police accounts state he fired a warning shot, then shot suspect Sikander in the leg when the attack continued, preventing more serious harm.
  • With help from private security guards, all three men — Sikander, Darshan Singh and Vijender Singh — were detained and their motorcycle and burglary tools were seized.
  • A case was registered at Hauz Khas Police Station as interrogation linked the trio to multiple housebreakings and prompted a broader interstate probe.
