Delhi: Two arrested for snatching former Union Minister Vijay Goel’s phone

Goel was sitting in his car near the Jama Masjid area when the accused snatched his Samsung Galaxy 9 phone and fled from the spot. CCTV footage shows Goel sitting in the car with the windows rolled down and talking to someone on the phone. He had earlier told The Indian Express that the accused, a man dressed in a blue shirt and white cap, came from behind and snatched his phone. Goel’s PSO was also present in the car.

The police said Sajan confessed to the crime and told them that he sold the phone to his friend for Rs 2,200. They also recovered the clothes Sajan wore at the time of committing the offence. “We arrested his friend Asif who works as a helper at a shop. The team recovered the stolen phone from his possession. He also confessed to the crime. We are checking their criminal history,” a senior police officer said.
