After the killing of a Delhi-based model, the accused escaped with the victim’s iPhone, moved across the city and later clashed with police in a gunfight.
The body of a young model was discovered in Delhi earlier this week, prompting a swift police investigation into the homicide. Initial reports indicated that the victim was targeted in a pre‑planned attack, and detectives quickly identified several suspects linked to the crime scene.
According to police statements, the accused seized the victim’s iPhone before fleeing the area. Using the device, they altered their location data and moved through multiple neighborhoods in an attempt to evade capture.
Law enforcement units tracked the suspects’ movements and engaged them in a confrontation near a residential locality. The encounter escalated into an exchange of gunfire, during which officers sustained minor injuries before the suspects were neutralised and the stolen phone recovered.
The investigation remains ongoing, with authorities confirming that forensic analysis of the recovered phone will aid in establishing the motive and any wider network involved in the murder.
