Rani and Samar worked at a clothing shop near the victim's store. The couple knew that the shop owner carried cash on a regular basis. So, they hatched a plan to rob him as they wanted to open their own garments store with the money, Deputy Commissioner of Police (Dwarka) M Harsha Vardhan said.

During the investigation, the couple started tracking the victim's route, which is usually taken by him while returning home after closing the shop and Rani shared this information with two of her friends Dhama and Joginder who have criminal backgrounds, the DCP said.
