Almost a week after a businessman was robbed of Rs 36 lakh in Mundka area of West Delhi, six men were arrested in connection with the case of dacoity, officers said.
The accused were identified as Md Irfan (32), Nitesh (35), Aman (21), Manish alias Don (19), Prince alias Awara (19), and Arshad (23), all residents of Delhi and Noida. According to the police, cash worth Rs 10.40 lakh and vehicles and mobile phones purchased with the stolen money were recovered from the accused.
“The accused were previously involved in heinous cases, including murder, Arms Act, vehicle theft, and snatching,” DCP (North-West) Bhisham Singh said.
According to police, the incident occurred around 7.45 pm on November 28, when complainant Roshan Lal was on his scooter near Mukundpur Flyover, carrying a bag containing cash worth Rs 36 lakh. He was going to hand it over to his firm owner when assailants allegedly intercepted him on two motorcycles.
“The pillion rider pushed the victim’s scooter, causing him to fall. One of the accused persons, armed with a knife, assaulted him three-four times, causing injuries on his left hand,” an officer said.
The robbers allegedly fled with the bag filled with cash and the victim’s scooter, while he ran for his life. An FIR was registered at Jahangir Puri Police Station, officers said.
The probe revealed that accused Nitesh, who worked as a driver in Gandhi Nagar, had noticed the victim transporting cash regularly. He shared this information with Irfan, who planned the robbery with his associates. The gang allegedly kept a watch on his movement and routes before executing the dacoity, said police.
