Gurdas, who was recently released from jail in a murder case, joined the plan with weapons. On April 28, the accused had looted a red Vikrant Bajaj bike in Bahadurgarh, for which an FIR was lodged at Sector 6 police station.

Criminal history of the accused and absconding accused
Harmeet and Yogesh have a long criminal record. They were involved in robbery cases in Haryana in 2015-16 and were released from jail in 2022. The third accused Gurdas has recently come out of jail in a murder case and is currently absconding. The police have so far recovered Rs 54,500, clothes and mobile phones used in the crime. DCP Ankit Singh said that the search for Gurdas is on and efforts are also being made to recover the rest.
