The men have been identified as Mohammed Vakil from Punjab, Sandeep Gupta alias Sonu and Amit Gupta alias Amrit who are from Delhi.

“The arrested men used to rent flats in different areas of the city and change their SIM cards every alternate day to avoid police tracking. They had even got fake Aadhaar cards made. We are trying to arrest other members of the gang,” the police said.
