Deputy commissioner of police, east, Kunwar Rashtradeep said that three suspicious men were seen during night patrolling on Monday near Transport Nagar and Kho Nagoriyan, who tried to run away after being spotted by the police.

The police said that the men were caught and brought to the police station for questioning following which the cops came to know about the burglaries committed by them.

“The three men are members of the Pardi gang, which commits thefts and burglaries in various places across the country. After interrogating the three accused, we came to know that they have committed such crimes in various districts of Rajasthan and also in Delhi,” said additional deputy commissioner of police, east, Hanuman Prasad.
