Three persons, including a driver and a former employee of a drug company, were arrested for allegedly robbing Rs 24 lakh cash from a company official in a bus here, a senior police official said.
The accused Dhiraj Gurjar (20) and Lokesh Gurjar (25), both cousins, with the help of Ganesh Mishra (34), a mini bus driver of the company, stopped the vehicle near Khurail police station area and snatched the bag containing Rs 24 lakh from the assistant manager of the company on January 9 and fled.
