The arrested individuals were identified as Sonu alias Chidimar from Delhi, Astonish alias Lablu, Ravi Prakash alias Chota Bhola, and Jeetu alias Pubji, all residents of Gurugram. Police recovered a pistol with a live cartridge, an iron rod, and a torch from the suspects’ possession.
A case has been registered under the relevant sections at Sector-56 Police Station. During interrogation, the suspects confessed to their involvement in 16 previous thefts in Gurugram. Police records revealed that Sonu had been implicated in seven criminal cases, including theft, the Gambling Act, and the Arms Act; Astonish faced three theft charges; and Ravi Prakash had six theft-related cases against him.
The arrested suspects are expected to be produced in court for further legal proceedings, with an ongoing investigation into their criminal activities.
