DCP (west), V Ranganathan said Anas (24) stole the money when his employer gave him Rs 2 lakh to hand it over to a business associate. The incident took place on September 6 when Virnder Mohan, owner of a chemical manufacturing unit in Rohini, gave the amount to Anas to deliver. He dropped him off at Janakpuri Metro station from where Anas was supposed to get to Karol Bagh. But Anas did not reach the said destination. After that, Mohan lodged an FIR and following his complaint, raids were conducted at different places in the city with the help of technical surveillance.
