They were held from a park near Mehrauli-Badarpur road.

The gang was notorious for stealing trucks by first overtaking them on the road and then making away with the vehicle after killing the driver.

They were held minutes before they could attempt a planned truck dacoity at the Container Depot in Okhla.

With this 16 cases of murder, dacoity, robbery were solved.
