After the Crime Branch of Delhi Police found Mohit Tyagi's (the former wireless operator of Additional DCP, West district) involvement in an illegal arms supply racket, the guilty constable was sent to district lines and an enquiry has been ordered against him. The operator has used his clout to stay afloat in the West district, despite the arrested person revealing his name in his disclosure before the Crime Branch sleuths.
Police sources said that the investigation team of the Special Investigation Team (SIT) has given a clean chit to constable Tyagi on technical grounds, but after The Pioneer reported the matter, the senior officials intervened and sent an information letter to senior official of West district, informing them that Tyagi's name had figured in an illegal arms supply racket, following the arrest of one Gaurav on April 12.
Few days ago, the senior officials of Crime Branch wrote to the West district officials that they are probing the role of Tyagi in the racket and they wanted a parallel departmental enquiry against him. later, Tyagi has been sent to district lines and a fresh departmental enquiry has been ordered against him. "After the intervention of senior Crime Branch officials, now the investigators are collecting some new technical evidences against him as Tyagi is not cooperating with them in the investigations," the sources added.
Investigations revealed that accused Gaurav was in constant touch with Tyagi and they had used mobile messaging application — Whatsapp to exchange messages. But now, during interrogation, Tyagi claims that his two cell phones were lost last month.
On April 12, Gaurav was arrested from Rohini, following the interception of his conversation with Ravish, a notorious criminal of Dwarka area. Police had recovered one 7.62 mm pistol and a Swift desire car from his possession. After the sustained interrogation, Gaurav told the investigators that he had met Tyagi and the said weapon was given by him. "They had met in the parking of Radisson Hotel, where they consumed liquor and Tyagi asked him to deliver the weapon to Ravish. After his arrest, Crime Branch sleuths were looking for Tyagi, who remained absconding and had even switched off his cell phone," the sources said.
