Ex-Delhi Constable Accused of Planning Rs 50 Lakh Robbery
Two people carrying money for work were stopped and robbed in North Delhi on March 31.
The bags held more than Rs 50 lakh.
A chargesheet says former police constable Samay Singh Meena helped plan the robbery, even though he was not there when it happened.
Police allege that people he knew through jail helped assemble the group accused of carrying it out.
Investigators say the group took the money to a guest house and divided it.
Police have recovered Rs 30 lakh so far.
They are also investigating whether the robbery was part of a larger criminal group.
The accused are allegations in a court case, and the investigation is continuing.
Two cash couriers were robbed of Rs 50.37 lakh in a North Delhi underpass on March 31.
