The police on Monday busted a gang of three inter-state cabbie robbers.

The accused have been identified as Mohan alias Monu (27), Surender (35) and Naresh Kumar (32), all residents of Kujota village, Jaipur. The trio was currently living in a rented accommodation in Bawal, Rewari.

The accused used luxury vehicles to lure their targets and have confessed to more than two dozen of incidents.

The gang had been active since 2016 and operated in Delhi, UP, Rajasthan and Gurugram.

In the latest incident last Friday, a 35-year-old man was assaulted and robbed at gunpoint at around 11.30 am when he tried to hitchhike from Rajeev Chowk to Naraina in Delhi. The victim has been identified as Shashank Pandey of Deoria in UP. After the registration of an FIR, Gurugram police nabbed the gang from Bawal on Monday. “The gang members came to Gurugram and targeted passengers who looked rich,” said ACP Preet Pal Singh Sangwan. — OC
