The Sudduguntepalya police have busted a three member gang of muggers targeting food delivery executives and robbing their phones.
The kingpin of the gang has been identified as Deepak Malik, a food delivery executive turned mugger, along with his associates Rakesh Paswan and Tonu Kumar Singh, from Assam, who worked as security guards in the day time and joined Deepak for robbery at night.
They used to target only delivery executives as they were easy targets. According to the police, the victims carry the phones in a mobile holder for navigation and ride electric bikes, thereby leaving them with little chance of chasing the thieves. Using this modus operandi, the accused operated in and around the south-east division in the last year and robbed 25 mobile phones from delivery executives working at night time.
