  "account": "A 25-year-old member of a gang involved in ATM cutting and cash theft was apprehended in Nuh, Haryana, on Friday, authorities announced on Saturday. Mohammad Mujeb, also known as Mujim, hails from Bubalhedi village in Pinangwan, Nuh. He was wanted in connection with cases reported to the Muffasil and Turkaulia police stations in Motihari, East Champaran district, Bihar, in 2024. During this time, Mujeb and his associates allegedly stole large sums of money by cutting open ATM kiosks using gas cutters.\n\nBihar Police had offered a reward of ₹25,000 for information leading to his capture after he evaded arrest for the past two years. Nuh police public relations officer Krishan Kumar revealed that Bihar Police had reached out to them for assistance in apprehending the suspect. With this request, Nuh Superintendent of Police Arpit Jain directed the police to apprehend the elusive individual. A team under the command of sub-inspector Nikhil Kumar from Pinangwan police station successfully captured the suspect after conducting raids at various hideouts. The team handed Mujeb over to the Bihar police contingent that arrived in Nuh on Friday.\n\nAccording to Kumar, Mujeb is a habitual offender who has been involved in multiple incidents of cash theft by cutting ATM kiosks with gas cutters in Bihar and neighboring states. He added that at least three to four suspected gang members are also from Nuh. These individuals return to their hideout in Nuh after committing crimes in other states and avoid using phones and social media to stay low and evade law enforcement.\n\nKumar informed that Bihar Police teams had attempted to trace the suspects on several occasions but were unsuccessful in their efforts. This time, they were able to apprehend Mujeb. Debashish Karmakar, a principal correspondent with the Hindustan Times, Gurugram bureau, covered the story. With over 14 years of journalistic experience, Karmakar has extensively reported on crime, court, power, transport, administration, weather, and other topics across various media houses.",
