They said the accused, Masoom Ali (37) and Iqbal Ali (32), were members of an interstate gang, and with their arrest four cases of cheating have been solved.

When they left after checking his bag, he found that the jewellery were missing, Deputy Commissioner of Police (Central), Mandeep Singh Randhawa said.
Two motorcycle and stolen ornaments have been recovered from the arrested accused, police said.
