The trio were moving around in the Metro station area when the official recognised them from the CCTV video footage.

The three were wanted in two earlier cases of thefts at the Delhi metro, one of which was about pickpocketing of Rs 30,000 of a passenger and the other was about stealing of a costly Samsung Note-3 in the Metro network earlier this month.
