The incident unfolded on October 18 in Delhi's Rohini area, with a group of five men entering the scientist's home under the guise of delivery personnel.

The two arrested, Jasmeen Singh alias Gifty and Gaurav Kawatra, a former employee of the scientist, played pivotal roles in the heist, supplying crucial information to the robbers.
