New Delhi, April 29 (IANS) The Inderpuri Police of the West District have successfully cracked a high-value daylight robbery case involving Rs 70 lakh within a short span of time. Four accused persons have been arrested, and Rs 53.40 lakh in cash along with the motorcycle used in the crime has been recovered, officials said on Wednesday.

After sustained surveillance and multiple raids across Delhi and adjoining areas of Haryana and Uttar Pradesh, all four accused were apprehended. During the operation, police recovered Rs 53.40 lakh of the robbed amount and the motorcycle used in committing the offence.

The arrested accused have been identified as Rishi Yadav (22), a student with prior involvement in a criminal case; Mohd. Kaif (25), engaged in dairy business, Sourabh alias Bacha (23), an auto driver with previous criminal records; and Vikash (22), employed in a private job and alleged to be the insider.
