A 16-year-old juvenile has been apprehended for his alleged involvement in a violent armed robbery in Netaji Subhash Place (NSP) area in northwest Delhi, police said on Friday.

On September 8, four assailants allegedly attacked a man near the NSP Market Subway, causing multiple stab wounds before fleeing with his bag containing Rs 2 lakh in cash, a laptop, and important documents, an officer said.

The complainant, identified as Jitender, was near NSP when the accused tried to snatch his bag.

“When he resisted, the attackers stabbed him multiple times and decamped with his belongings. A case was registered at Subhash Place police station and further investigation was launched,” the officer added.
