New Delhi, April 2 (IANS) Two criminals who robbed a businessman and his son of Rs 1.40 crore at gunpoint here after intercepting their car have been arrested, police said on Tuesday.
Aalam Ali, 22, and his accomplice Mustkeem Khan, 19, both resident of Delhi, were arrested on Monday night by the Crime Branch when they came to meet a contact near the Inderlok Metro station.
Both were involved in various robberies and were members of the Babloo Khan gang, the police said.
