HYDERABAD: Rachakonda police on Tuesday arrested an interstate gang including the kingpin who had robbed a truckload of MRF tyres on February 18.
The kingpin, Jamsheed Khan, along with Rahil approached the truck with MRF tyres at Trichy in Tamil Nadu and asked for a lift to go to Haryana. On his information, police arrested Kamal Kabra, Afroz Ali Khan and Syed Hussain who were into tyres business in the city.
