A Global Position System (GPS) fitted in the cab helped police to apprehend Laxman, Raj Kumar, Rahul, Amit and Vikram, who stole the cab at gun-point after seeking lift from its driver in New Ashok Nagar on the intervening night of Monday-Tuesday.

A country made gun and one live cartridge were recovered from their possession, police said, adding that further probe is on.
