Drawing fire over the daylight robbery at Pragati Maidan, Delhi Police took as many as 1,600 people and seized about 200 vehicles during night patrols before eventually arresting five people for the Rs 2 lakh robbery, sources have said.

Patel Sajan Kumar, a delivery agent of Chandi Chowk-based Omiya Enterprises and his associate Jigar Patel were on their way to Gurugram in a cab Saturday when four men on two bikes blocked their way. The two pillion riders got off the bikes and took out pistols.
One of them moved towards the driver's seat, and the other opened the rear door and snatched the bag of cash. The two then got on the bikes and sped away.
