A team from the Delhi Police Special Cell arrested three robbers who were involved in heinous crimes. Each of them had a Rs 50,000 cash reward for information leading to their arrest.

Based on this, three desperate criminals, Ajeet, Mohammad Ikbal and Harsh, were involved in this armed gold heist. Officials recovered one looted gold brick weighing 1 kg gold and proceeds of crime worth Rs 3.2 lakhs from the accused persons.

While questioning them, officials learnt that three more accused, Pramod, Manipal aka Atul and Deepak Chauhan were also involved.

Due to the arrest of their associates, all the three wanted accused persons went underground. When the efforts failed, Delhi Police announced a cash reward of Rs 50,000 each for providing information leading to their arrest.
