The suspicion was also based on the fact that Dharmendra had earlier been arrested in Sanver for vehicle theft.
When police questioned him, Dharmendra confessed that he was part of a gang of vehicle lifters and had been stealing them for a long time. On the basis of information provided by him police arrested Rashid son of Abdul Karim resident of Sikandrabad and Banti resident of Scheme No 51. However, the other gang members Kailash Silawat, Bharat Silawat, Prem Langra, and Vikram are absconding. All of them live in Kasrawad and a police team has been sent there.
