The accused were identified as Bittu alias Anna, Bittu alias Rakesh, Arjun Singh, Sandeep and Sunita alias Maya. All the accused had formed a gang named Anna and used to rob travellers after offering them a lift. The gang used the female member and a physically disabled male member to gain the trust of the commuters.

"The gang used to offer lifts to the commuters and take them to a secluded road and rob them.
