New Delhi: Delhi Police arrested a man, who along with his associates, looted four kilograms of gold from a jeweller in Telangana and shot at two people during the robbery, officials said on Wednesday.

Sumit Dagar was declared a proclaimed offender in a murder case in Delhi after he did not surrender before the court on March 30, 2022, they said. On March 1, 2019, Dagar and his four associates killed Imran in Delhi over an old rivalry, police said. "After killing Imran, he was arrested and granted parole. After getting parole, he went to Telangana where he lived with his relatives and got involved in a robbery case," Deputy Commissioner of Police (crime) Amit Goel said.

"On December 1, 2023, accused Dagar, along with his associates robbed four kilograms of gold and cash from a jewellery store in Telangana at gunpoint," the DCP said. Dagar opened fire at the staff, and two other jewellers received bullet injuries, he said. "At that time, Telangana police sought assistance from the crime branch of the Delhi Police to trace the accused persons as it was revealed that the accused were from Delhi," the DCP said. "Many teams were formed to nab the accused in both cases.

Teams identified his location in Sector 34 in Rohini and apprehended him on Tuesday. Dagar later accepted his involvement," DCP said. Dagar was involved in six cases, including murder and armed robbery in Delhi and Telangana. Efforts are being made to arrest his associates as well, he added.
