At that time, Malik and the other three accused who were in a car tried to speed away. But they were caught and were arrested,' the police officer added.

'On interrogation, it was revealed that Anjali is the leader of the gang. The other main accused Ravi Malik, a property dealer whose business suffered due to recession, had developed relations with several call girls. He met Anjali, who is also a call girl, and hatched a conspiracy with her to commit car thefts in this way,' the police officer said.

'Malik also roped in his friend Pankaj Arora and his nephew Shashank into the gang. Malik has studied up to Class 10 but left studies early. Anjali, a native of Uttar Pradesh, has studied up to Class 8 only. She left her studies due to poor financial conditions and started working in an export factory,' he said.

'She got married to one Wazir but left him and started working as a call girl to earn quick and easy money,' the official added.
