New Delhi, Jun 26: A delivery agent and his associate were robbed of ₹ 2 lahks at gunpoint by four men inside the Pragati Maidan tunnel in New Delhi on Saturday, the police said. Police said the two men were on their way to Gurugram to deliver a bag full of cash when they were robbed.
No arrests have been made so far. The daylight robbery was caught on a security camera installed in the tunnel. The video shows four robbers on two motorcycles waylaying the Ola cab - which the delivery agent had booked from the Red Fort area- as it enters the tunnel on the Ring Road.

They then flee the spot. Police said a case has been registered on the charges of robbery, with an attempt to cause grievous hurt.
"It's being investigated if the men were following the duo for a long time. We are also questioning the staff of the company to ascertain if it was an inside job.”
