A robber, who had filed a report about his missing motorcycle on police website to mislead probe in a case of robbery he committed over the weekend, was arrested in south Delhi's Madangir area, officials said on Tuesday.
Jitender, 22, and his accomplice had robbed a woman's purse near Panchsheel flyover over the weekend but while trying to escape, they fell off their motorcycle.
They left the bike at the crime scene and filed a report about the two-wheeler missing on the police website in a bid to mislead the police investigation, said Deputy Commissioner of Police (South) Atul Kumar Thakur.
Jitender was arrested on Sunday after police received a tip he would be visiting C- Block Park in Madangir to sell stolen mobile phones, police said.
A snatched mobile phone was recovered from him, they said.
Efforts are on to arrest his accomplice.
