Preliminary investigation revealed that the driver of the truck has switched off his mobile phone after loading the cargo from IGI Airport.

The cops then used electronic surveillance of the driver’s mobile phone to track him. Sanjay and Roshan were apprehended from a room in southwest Delhi’s Pochanpur village, where they had rented a room using fake IDs.
Based on their statements, cops also apprehended Hukum Dev Yadav, who was the mastermind behind the robbery. He procured all the fake IDs and SIM cards. Cops are further interrogating them to see if they are involved in more incidents.
