Four persons, including a national-level wrestling champion, have been arrested by the Delhi Police for robbing truck carrying high-quality denim material worth Rs.30 lakh. Interestingly, the robbers brandished toy guns to scare the driver.

Those arrested include two robbers and two receivers, who were involved in several theft cases in Delhi.

On May 20, the Police Control Room or PCR at Swaroop Nagar received a call. The complainant Nasseb said that a TATA vehicle loaded with 77 rolls of jeans clothes has been robbed at gunpoint from GT Road near Shani Mandir.
