Six persons were arrested, including wanted criminal Kapil alias Nandu Sangwan, and Rs 10 lakh in cash and weapons were recovered from their possession from Renwal area in Jaipur, police said.
"A team of Gurgaon police was chasing three criminals who were in an SUV yesterday and they opened fire at them near Jaisinghpura. They managed to escape and reached Renwal area where locals caught them and handed over them to Renwal police chowki under Phagi police station here," Jaipur Police Commissioner Sanjay Agarwal said on Saturday.
The staff, however, did not inform senior officers and instead stuck a deal to help the accused evade police. They also allowed them to speak to their aides in Delhi on cell phone following which three of their accomplices came to Jaipur to get them released for Rs 10 lakh, he said.
Meanwhile, with technical inputs the criminals were traced to the police chowky following which they were arrested around midnight.
