On Tuesday, Delhi Police announced the arrest of seven individuals in relation to the gunpoint robbery of a delivery agent and his associate inside the Pragati Maidan tunnel. The incident occurred on Saturday while they were en route to Gurgaon in a taxi to deliver approximately Rs 2 lakh, which was subsequently stolen by the accused. Those arrested include Usman, his cousin Irfan, Anuj Mishra, Kuldeep, Sumit, Pradeep and Bala. Usman has been identified as the main conspirator and he gave information to the others. Preliminary investigation has revealed that the accused carried out recces on Thursday and Friday and were on the lookout. On Saturday, they executed the robbery, according to cops. CCTV camera footage received by the Delhi Police showed four motorcycle-borne men intercepted the car and robbed the delivery agent of Omiya Enterprises, Chandni Chowk, and his associate. They were following the taxi and chose to stop it inside the tunnel as they had a higher chance of success to execute the robbery. People usually do not stop in tunnels and drive through them at speed, according to police. The footage 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, 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. 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 motorcycles and fled with their accomplices.
