Delhi Police on Saturday claimed to have busted a gang of automated teller machine (ATM) robbers.
"We have arrested a member of the gang, which was active in the national capital region," said police.
The arrested person has been identified as Sohrab, a resident of Nuh district in Haryana.
Police said that Sohrab, who was arrested on Friday, along with his associates Shahid, Alijaan, Nambardar, Azruddin, and Aiyyum used to break ATMs with the help of a gas cutter and take out the cash.
