Serial Burglar from MP Arrested in Delhi; Linked to Crimes Across Multiple States

New Delhi: A man who frequently travelled from Madhya Pradesh to Delhi to commit burglaries has been arrested by Delhi Police. Identified as Babloo, a 32-year-old resident of Ozhar village in Barwani district, Madhya Pradesh, the accused is also wanted in Gujarat and Maharashtra for multiple crimes, including violations of the Arms Act, police said.
According to police, Babloo and his associates allegedly broke into a house in Sagarpur on the night of April 16, stealing approximately 500 grams of gold, silver articles, and ₹50,000 in cash. A case was registered under Sections 305 and 331 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS).

Investigators reviewed CCTV footage from the area, which showed three individuals breaking into the building that night. Further analysis revealed the gang used a motorcycle later found to have been stolen from Mayapuri the same evening.
To mislead investigators, the suspects took a circuitous route from their rented accommodation in Nihal Vihar to locations in Dhaula Kuan and Mayapuri before heading to the crime scene, said DCP (south west) Surendra Choudhary.
Through technical surveillance and mobile tracking, Babloo was traced and apprehended in his native village, Badipura in Ozhar. During interrogation, he confessed and disclosed the identities of his two accomplices—both relatives from Umarti, Madhya Pradesh—who are currently on the run.
The accused have a history of burglaries across multiple states and are on the wanted list in Gujarat and Maharashtra.
While in police custody, Babloo led officers to the recovery of stolen gold hidden in his village. Police also seized a set of specialised burglary tools, including scissors modified into lock-picking instruments.
Babloo, who dropped out after class V, learned lock-breaking skills early in life and initially committed petty thefts before graduating to more sophisticated crimes. He has a previous arrest under the Arms Act by Delhi's Special Cell in 2021 and is also wanted in Gujarat under the same law.
