In this regard, a thorough investigation will be done whether PCR van units should be linked with the district police for better coordination. The PCR van was separated from the district police a few years ago. In outer Delhi, those areas where there are few or no CCTV cameras and areas where there are no street lights will be properly investigated by the police.

In this case, along with five people in the car, many of their associates have been arrested.
