A 24-year-old man has been arrested for allegedly robbing cash from an e-commerce company’s store in Shalimar Bagh in northwest Delhi, with police recovering part of the stolen amount, an official said on Wednesday.
The accused, Ritik Gulati, was arrested on Tuesday night, they said.
According to the police, a PCR call was received on April 13 in which the complainant, Mohammad Haseeb, alleged that an unidentified person entered the store around 12.50 pm, abused and threatened him with a knife, and forcibly took the keys of the cash drawer.
“The accused then decamped with over Rs 17,000 from the premises,” a senior officer said.
A team analysed CCTV footage from the area and, based on the inputs, the accused was tracked down and arrested.
