Three alleged robbers, who used chokehold techniques to overpower victims before robbing them at knifepoint, have been arrested in central Delhi, police said on Saturday.
The police arrested Badal alias Karan, 25, Sachin alias Dhoti, 23, and Sanjay alias Atma, 25, on Wednesday, while a juvenile involved in the case was apprehended earlier, they said.
According to the police, the incident took place on April 30 near Pul Paharganj when the victim was on his way to meet his nephew at the New Delhi Railway Station.
“The accused allegedly intercepted the man, caught him by the neck in a chokehold and robbed his cash and a mobile phone at knifepoint,” a senior police officer said.
Based on the juvenile’s disclosure and a tip-off, the remaining accused were held near Sheila Cinema, police said.
During interrogation, the accused allegedly confessed to the crime and revealed that they had sold the robbed mobile phone near the railway station for Rs 2,000 and spent the money on intoxicants, they said.
All the accused have previous criminal involvement, and further investigation is underway, they added.
