The arrested individual has been identified as Sunny a resident of Sampla near Rohtak in Haryana. "During questioning, he said that after watching some videos of gangsters on social media, he made a plan to rob cash and vehicles with his school friend," the police said.

Deputy Commissioner of Police (Dwarka), M. Harsha Vardhan, said: "A police team was tasked to regularly conduct surveillance over the members (out on bail) of different gangs active in district and adjoining states.
