Delhi Police have arrested five individuals in connection with a robbery on the Rani Jhansi Flyover, where approximately 19.50 lakh rupees in cash was stolen from two merchants on September 30. The investigation revealed that an associate working in Chandni Chowk conducted reconnaissance and planned the heist with four accomplices from Ghaziabad.
