The police have recovered Rs 32.15 lakh cash, gold jewellery worth Rs 3 lakh, a car and other valuables, in all worth about Rs 50 lakh from their possession.

Police Commissioner B G Jyothiprakash Mirji told mediapersons that the 13 men were serving sentences at the Arthur Road prison between 2005 and 2008, when they teamed up. The gang members hailed from Maharashtra, Gujarat, Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh and Tamil Nadu. Once out on bail, they ke­pt in touch.

Sources said the RT Nagar dacoity was meticulously planned. Three of the gang members rented a house in the locality for about two months. They kept a watch on the movements of the ATM cash vehicle.

Once the final action plan was ready, the rest of the team joined in. They got two cars for the purpose. One that was found aband­oned on the day of crime was stolen from Maharashtra, and the other that police seized from one of the five arrested, was from Gujarat.

Driving in two vehicles,the gang got the cash-carrying vehicle sandwiched between them, intimidated the men escorting the cash, and assaulted them. In the ensuing melee, they sped away with the huge cash bounty.
