Jaipur: Two men, including a domestic worker, were arrested, Saturday for their involvement in a robbery at the Vaishali Nagar home of Congressman Sandeep Chaudhary. The suspects, Bharat Bisht (28) and Hari Bahadur Dhami (29), were caught near the India-Nepal border in Uttarakhand as they attempted to flee to Nepal. Bisht’s wife Kajal and two other accomplices remain at large.Police are yet to recover the stolen cash and jewellery and continue to raid multiple locations.The robbery occurred on May 14 while Chaudhary’s mother Krishna, wife Mamta, son Rajdeep and daughter Rajshree were at home. Bisht and Kajal, who were employed as domestic staff through a placement agency just two weeks prior, conspired with outsiders to commit the crime. Krishna and Mamta were allegedly drugged with sedative-laced tea before the gang looted the house.The suspects meticulously planned their escape. They walked half a kilometre from the residence before entering a rented Haryana-registered car parked in Hanuman Nagar to avoid being captured on CCTV. Kajal and another suspect followed in the car, helping the group flee the city undetected.DCP west Amit Kumar said the breakthrough came after police spotted a suspicious taxi trailing the suspects. Investigators traced the vehicle to Delhi and, with help from Uttarakhand police, located and arrested Bharat and Dhami.Additional DCP Alok Singhal led the investigation. CCTV footage confirmed Dhami’s presence at the crime scene. Teams were dispatched to Bihar, Uttar Pradesh and Uttarakhand, with alerts issued along the Nepal border.According to police, Bharat, a Nepalese national, masterminded the operation. He coordinated with Dhami, Kajal and others, renting the getaway car in Delhi and driving to Jaipur for the planned heist. Efforts are underway to arrest the remaining accused and recover the stolen valuables.
