City Police today arrested three car-lifters and recovered from them Rs 5 lakh in cash and a high-end vehicle.
Sayyed Wasif, Mohammed Dawood Ahammed Khan and Mohammed Farheemuddin were apprehended for looting Rs 8.5 lakh
cash from one M Vasant Rao earlier this month, Commissioner of Police J Purnachandra Rao told reporters.
Police recovered Rs 5 lakh of stolen cash and an SUV used in the crime from the trio who are hardcore criminals, he
said.
On September 8, the trio followed Rao in their car and decamped with the bag containing Rs 8.5 lakh which he had kept
inside his vehicle parked outside a hospital.
The commissioner said while Wasif has twelve cases of car theft against him in Mumbai besides two cases of robberies
in Hyderabad, Dawood Khan is involved in two car-lifting cases and Farheemuddin is wanted for murder.
The Mahindra Scorpio used in the crime by the trio was allegedly stolen from Nagpur in January last, police said.
