Police were tipped off about the gang by a resident Anshul Gupta. Gupta said: "The gang leader, Babloo, had come to my shop to sell coins dating back to 1857. I had been cheated by such a fraudster in the past, so I told him to come on Saturday with all the coins." Five members of the gang landed at the shop and Gupta took three, including the woman, to a room.Two others members of the gang fled the spot on learning that police have been called.
