Interrogation revealed that Karan's cousin got married to a person in Palam village. But due to domestic issues, she was residing with her parents, the DCP said.

Karan wanted to teach his cousin's husband a lesson. He also made threatening calls to him and demanded Rs 2 crore as the victim was financially sound, police said. They procured a country-made pistol from Bagpath in Uttar Pradesh.

On February 3, they first fired in Palam village and threatened Karan's brother-in-law and later robbed the complainant at gun point, police said.

After the robbery, they handed over the car to Dabas and left for Manali in Himachal Pradesh, the DCP said. One country-made pistol, one live cartridge and the car were recovered from their possession, they added.
