New Delhi – In a dramatic turn of events, the Delhi Police announced the capture of five individuals suspected of orchestrating a cash theft estimated at ₹1.5 crore.

The robbery took place on the evening of 7 September along the Outer Ring Road, close to the Geeta Colony flyover. The victims, travelling together in an auto‑rickshaw from Chandni Chowk to Safdarjung Enclave, were carrying a bag that held roughly ₹1.5 crore in cash.
