Police describe him as the planner facing dismissal.

Overview

  • Samay Singh, who was arrested Thursday in Dausa, Rajasthan, was traced through CCTV footage and technical surveillance.
  • Police say he planned the March 31 robbery near the Azad Market railway underpass, where two men in an auto were assaulted and ₹50.37 lakh was taken.
  • Seven suspects, including the constable, are in custody, and officers report recovering nearly all the cash, several phones bought with it, and the motorcycle used.
