Delhi Police arrested Gunasekar, 42, and Gokul M, 27, from Tiruchirappalli on August 5 over alleged thefts from parked cars in Delhi. Police recovered four laptops, three chargers and a mobile phone, linking them to four cases registered in Roop Nagar, Ashok Vihar and Govind Puri. The investigation began after an advocate reported an iPad and other valuables stolen from his car in Kamla Nagar on July 9. Police allege the gang travelled by train from Tamil Nadu, broke car windows and avoided carrying mobile phones to evade tracking. The Times of India reports that members stayed in Delhi for nearly a month and travelled by buses at night, while India Today says they returned home after selling stolen goods. Police suspect Deepak alias Kartik led the gang and are searching for other members.
