The Delhi Police on Wednesday has announced a reward of Rsone lakh for information leading to the arrest of those involved in the murder of a constable in Jafrabad area last month. Although several police teams have been probing the murder of 26-year-old Dharam Pal by two bike-borne men in outside a shop north-east area where he had gone to verify arms licence on September 27 but no arrest has been made so far.
“Commissioner of Police BS Bassi has announced a cash reward of Rsone lakh with immediate effect and shall remain good till the arrest of the accused person(s) or anyone who may give information to trace out or render any help to arrest those involved in the murder of constable,” an official statement said, adding, “his service pistol was also looted”.
The Commissioner reserves the right to decide finally by whom the reward has been earned and in what proportion it will be distributed amongst the claimants, if any, it added.
Dharam Pal was posted at Jaffrabad police station a month ago before the incident and deputed as beat constable of Maujpur. This was the second such incident in just two months where a constable posted at Jaffrabad police station has been gunned down.
Recently, a constable named Shivraj Tomar from North east was shot dead by an alleged criminal, who was later killed in an encounter by Special Cell.
