The incident of daylight gunpoint robbery inside Delhi's busy Pragati Maidan tunnel has once again raised questions about the security situation in the national capital. The Delhi Police is combing through the CCTV videos in the vicinity to create a chain of events in order to nab the four culprits at large. The four motorcycle-borne men were last seen in Majnu Ka Tila on June 24 after the alleged robbery, as per one of the videos accessed by the police.

The four motorcycle-borne men intercepted a car and looted about Rs 2 lakh from a delivery agent and his associate inside the 1.5-km tunnel that connects New Delhi with Sarai Kale Khan and Noida.

The 22-second video shows that the four men apparently trailed the cab on two motorcycles and intercepted it inside the tunnel as other vehicles passed by.

When the cab stopped, the two men riding pillion got down from their respective motorbikes, one quickly went to the driver’s seat and the other to the rear gate, both apparently whipped out their pistols. All four were wearing helmets.

The footage then showed both the car gates open and the man at the rear end being handed over a black-coloured handbag, apparently carrying money. The two then quickly hopped onto their waiting motorcycle and accelerated away with their accomplices.
