Accused used to spike drink with Alprax tablets

The Delhi police on Tuesday said they have arrested a history-sheeter, who used to allegedly target victims and steal their valuables by intoxicating their drinks with Alprax tablets, in north-west Delhi’s Model Town.

The accused, identified as 55-year-old Gurmeet Singh, has previously been found involved in similar kinds of cases, police said.

According to the police, on Sunday, a passenger along with an old woman, who was in an unconscious state, boarded an auto to Model Town. However, the driver found the activities of the accused suspicious and thereafter heard the sound of the woman’s bangles breaking, police said.
