Karambeer, an active member of Shakti gang which operates from south-west Delhi, was arrested on a tip off from a wine shop at Shyam Vihar in Najafgarh on November 11, Joint Commissioner of Police (Crime), Ravindra Yadav said.
The gang, including its leader Shakti, Karambeer and others, had looted 2.5 kg of gold, Rs 8 lakh in cash and a licenced revolver from a jewellery shop owner and his staff in Rohini after firing at them in July.
