Three men have been arrested in connection with holding hostage and robbing the family of a businessman in Delhi’s upscale Golf Links area. Among the accused is the family’s domestic help, who had been hired days before the incident, police said on Monday.

The accused were identified as Guddu Kumar Kamat alias Raju , the domestic help, Raman Kamat alias Sushil , both residents of Bihar and Amit Singh alias Gabbar , a resident of Sangam Vihar in Delhi, they said.

Two of the accused, Guddu and Raman, were arrested from Mumbai, while Amit was apprehended from Uttar Pradesh on Sunday, Deputy Commissioner of Police Sachin Sharma said.

Police said the case pertains to a dacoity reported on April 17, where the domestic help had allegedly conspired with 5-6 accomplices to target his employer’s residence.
