Five people, including a house help, have been arrested in connection with a robbery at an elderly woman’s residence in Ranjit Nagar area of central Delhi, police said on Friday.
The arrested individuals include two alleged robbers — identified as Monu alias Vikas Rathi and Akshay, both residents of Bijnor — and a relative of the house help, identified as Kailash alias Ganju, they said.
Kailash allegedly told the house help that he was in need of money, following which they planned the robbery, according to officials.

Monu and Akshat are history-sheeters and have multiple cases against them, including under the Gangster Act, Arms Act, and for attempt to murder, the officer added.
