Five people have been arrested in connection with the gunpoint robbery inside the Pragati Maidan tunnel
Five people have been arrested in connection with the gunpoint robbery of a delivery agent and his associates inside the Pragati Maidan tunnel, police said on June 27.
CCTV footage received by the Delhi Police showed four motorcycle-borne men intercepted a car and looted about ₹2 lakh from the delivery agent of Omiya Enterprises, Chandni Chowk, and his associate on Saturday. The incident happened when they were going towards Gurugram in a taxi to deliver the money.
The 22-second video shows the four men following the taxi on two motorcycles and intercepting it inside the tunnel as other vehicles passed by.
As the taxi stopped, the two men, wearing helmets, got off the motorcycles. One of them went towards the driver's side and the other to the rear door on the other side and whipped out their pistols. All four were wearing helmets.
The footage then showed both the car gates open and the man at the rear end being handed over a black-coloured handbag, apparently carrying money. The two then quickly hopped onto their waiting motorcycle and accelerate away with their accomplices.
Five accused have been arrested in the case, a senior police officer said.
A close look at the performance of the AIADMK, the principal Opposition party in Tamil Nadu, along with its ally, DMDK, in select 14 constituencies during the recent Lok Sabha election reveals that the Dravidian major, whose vote share was around 40% and more 10 years ago, is now a pale shadow of its original strength, if the current vote share is any indication.
