“He used to set a monthly target of stealing at least 30-40 phones on the streets to earn Rs 1 lakh,” said R Sathiyasundaram, DCP (Shahdara).

Police said Malik has been caught on CCTV footage several times. His bike was identified and his movements were traced. On Monday, police found that Malik was at Chintamani Chowk and sent a team to nab him.
