Delhi Police has arrested a 24-year-old man wanted in an attempt-to-murder case in the Patel Nagar area of central Delhi, an officer said on Tuesday.

The accused, identified as Prateek alias Badal, is a listed bad character of the local police station and was on the run in connection with a 2025 attempt-to-murder case, he said.

After receiving specific inputs about his movement, the police arrested Prateek on Monday, recovering a country-made pistol and two live cartridges from him.

“Prateek was wanted in a case where, on October 10, 2025, a man was attacked with a knife following a clash between two groups near Baljeet Nagar. Three juveniles in the case had already been apprehended earlier,” the officer said.

Further investigation is underway, police added.
