Five carjackers, who came in a silver Swift car, had taken away a white Swift car from Amandeep Singh, who runs a salon at Sector 40, Chandigarh, at gunpoint on November 27 around 8.25 pm. After identifying the silver Swift car from CCTV footage, the police had rounded up the car owner, a resident of Bantpur village in the Mullanpur area.
