The cops said that they had used the CCTV footage to track the men down.

“One of the CCTV footages obtained from a camera installed along the route through which the culprits fled exposed their faces and their photographs were developed accordingly. These photographs were shown to residents staying in Munirka, Jia Sarai, Ber Sarai, Katwaria Sarai, Vasant Gaon and Kotla Mubarkpur for tracking the accused,” reads the statement.
