Delhi Police arrested Azam, 40, a resident of Chandan Hola in south Delhi, in Tapukara, Rajasthan, after tracking him through Alwar, Tijara and Bhiwadi, NDTV reports. Police said he was wanted in five cases, including robbery, assault on police personnel, theft and obstructing public servants, and had been declared a proclaimed offender.

The Hindustan Times reports that Azam had more than a dozen cases against him and allegedly supplied illegal arms for the Rohit Choudhary gang. Police said he escaped during an attempt to execute a warrant in September 2025. The two reports differ on his period on the run. NDTV says it was since 2025, while police told Hindustan Times he had been absconding since securing bail in a 2017 robbery case.
The lazy narrative is that one arrest proves a gang has been dismantled. It does not. The opposite claim, that police action is mere headline management, also needs evidence. The immediate test is whether investigators secure admissible evidence in the five cases, establish any alleged arms supply, and explain the differing accounts of when Azam began evading arrest. A court outcome, not the arrest count, will settle the case.
