CIA in-charge inspector Shiv Kumar said the four were arrested while they were on their way to execute a crime. “Their interrogation will reveal their main cause of roaming in the district with weapons,” he said.

Police had put up a blockade on Landran road, near Bhuru crossing, following a tip-off. The accused were arrested at the spot, but not before they tried to flee in a Verna car.
