The accused allegedly sold the robbed car, they added.

Accused Manish Shukla was declared a proclaimed offender and was on the run since his release from jail on interim bail in March last year.

“On July 6, 2015, Shukla, his father Harish Shukla along with his two other associates Numanuddin and Atta-ul-Rehman allegedly strangled a cab driver near the Skylake Society in the Dwarka area,” a senior police officer said.

The accused were arrested and they revealed they were in dire need of money, so they planned to rob any four-wheeler vehicle and sold it to earn money, police said.
