Four men have been arrested for allegedly stealing electricity wires from Magenta Line of the Delhi Metro, the police said on Wednesday.
Dilshad (22), Ali Hasan alias Lala (23), Saddam (24) and Imran (27) are accused of multiple thefts over the past one month.
Dilshad and Hasan were employed as labourers by a project company of the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC). On March 7, a DMRC official filed five cases of overhead cable thefts that allegedly happened from January 23 to March 5, they added.
Dilshad, Hasan and Saddam were arrested on March 27 following a tip-off, said Deputy Commissioner of Police (Metro) Pankaj Kumar Singh. Two countrymade pistols and live cartridges were also seized from them. Imran, who bought the stolen cable from them, was nabbed later.
