On Saturday, Naman and his driver Gautam were going to Haiderpur in an autorickshaw and were carrying Rs 14.5 lakh in a sack, Meena said. When they reached Kasturba Gandhi Institute of Technology near the Prembadi underpass, their autorickshaw was hit by a motorcycle.

Guddu then roped in Sumit, Kunal and Rohit. Efforts are being made to nab Rohit, they said.
