Police said the arrested robbers were members of the “doctor gang”. Four country-made pistols, 10 cartridges and two stolen motorcycles that were used in the crime were recovered from their possession.

“The robberies were all planned inside in Bhondsi Jail where the gang members had been previously lodged in a robbery case,” said Rishipal Singh, deputy commissioner of police (east).

On September 18, four people were injured in Khichripur area after a group of six armed men opened fire while trying to escape after a failed robbery attempt.

The robbers fired seven rounds before fleeing the crime scene. One of the robbers was chased and caught by locals. The crime was captured in a CCTV camera installed at one of the shops in the vicinity of the crime scene.

Deputy commissioner of police (east) Rishipal Singh said that a case under relevant sections of IPC was registered and investigation taken up.

During investigation the police zeroed down on the accused and tracked their movements.

On Friday, a team led by sub-inspector Vinay Yadav received inputs that the gang’s kingpin, Hashim alias Doctor, and Shubham were going to come to Noida Sector 12.

“A raid was conducted and the two men arrested. Their interrogation led to the arrest of three other suspects, identified as Rishu, Vivek, and Kirti,” said the DCP.
