The police said the gang used to rob people at gun-point and then flee on the motorcycles.

Chandrabhan developed sources for getting information of people carrying large amounts of cash. He along with his accomplices would usually follow their intended victim from the old Delhi area on two-three motorcycles.

'At an isolated spot, they would stop the vehicle of the victim and rob him at gun-point. If the victim was travelling in a bus, they would stop the bus, force the victim to get down from the bus and then rob him,' said Thakur.
