The police said they were on their routine checking near Patel Chowk, when they received a tip-off that this gang was active in lifting vehicles from the city and other districts.

Besides, they were duping the innocent by showing them fake visas, and making promises of sending them abroad on minimal charges. They said acting on the information, they laid a trap to arrest the accused.
