Noida, Sep 16 ( IANS ) The three men who allegedly looted a jewellery shop in Aligarh last week were arrested in Noida on Wednesday after an encounter with the police.

The three accused have been identified as Saurabh, Mohit and Rohit. All three hail from Uttar Pradesh's Aligarh district.

"The trio has been injured in the encounter and have been taken to a hospital for treatment," said a senior police officer.
