The Delhi police arrested a gang of robbers who used a fake car number plate to cheat commuters, waiting for conveyance, to help them reach their destination at low fare. The gang also posed them as policemen to dupe victims and rob if they fail in cheating them. During the journey, they used to take passengers in confidence and on the pretext of checking they managed to get their valuables in an envelop and further they either exchanged the envelop or if the passenger resisted they robbed them.
