Cops said the cash belonged to Gurgaon-based businessman Rahul Ahuja and Rajesh Kalra, a bookie charged in the Hansie Cronje match-fixing case. Cops suspect the money has a hawala trail. Kalra said it was picked up from Chandni Chowk two days ago and was being taken to banks in Connaught Place, Karol Bagh and Moti Nagar.
In a 16-minute operation that began around 9am, the robbers in a stolen WagonR banged the Honda from the rear. Other robbers arrived in a Hyundai Verna, asked the five occupants of the Honda to get out at gunpoint and drove off in the car.
The WagonR used in the heist was left at the spot and while the other two cars in which the robbers fled, the City and the Verna, were found abandoned within a 2km radius.
Deputy Commissioner of Police (southeast) P Karunakaran told TOI that an insider's hand in the heist has not been ruled out. "A case of armed robbery has been registered at Lajpat Nagar police station," he added.
All border entry points have been sealed and CCTV footages are being scanned to identify the robbers, all aged between 20 and 25.
The money was being carried by Rajesh Kalra's manager Rakesh Kumar Sharma and four other employees. Kalra lives in Kalkaji while Sharma stays in near Nehru Place. They initially gave conflicting statements to the cops about the cash but later said it was Rs 7.69 crore. Rahul Ahuja's share was Rs 3 crore and the rest belonged to Kalra. The case is being accorded 'topmost priority' and over 24 teams are working to crack it, sources said.
The drama unfolded around 8.30am when Kalra, with four of Sharma's employees , started off from Kalkaji in a Honda City. The employees have been identified as Rakesh Sharma, Brijesh, Subodh, Baijnath and Mishra. They crossed the Moolchand flyover around 9am and were hit by a WagonR. A person from the WagonR got off and began to argue with the Honda's occupants. Next minute, a Verna pulled over and five men armed with pistols pulled out the five people in the Honda, and asked them to stand in a corner of the road, which was packed with office-goers.
One of the robbers took control of the Honda and drove off with three others. The remaining gangsters sped away in the Verna, leaving the WagonR behind.
The City's occupants said they raised an alarm and even tried to chase the robbers. They finally called the police. The PCR was informed about the robbery at 9.30am and then again at 9.50am.
Around 1pm, cops found the Verna, with its ignition on, abandoned at the Defence Colony flyover near Jangpura Metro station. Half an hour later, the Honda City was found at Kasturba Nagar area. The empty cash bags were found inside the Verna.
Several teams are raiding in outer, northwest and southwest Delhi and crime branch sleuths are also camping in Bahadurgarh , Jhajjar and other areas in Haryana to gather intelligence about the suspects.
