A sales executive at a luxury car showroom was among three men arrested for allegedly posing as Enforcement Directorate (ED) officials, abducting the manager of the showroom, and stealing ₹30 lakh from the premises last month, police said on Tuesday.

Deputy commissioner of police (New Delhi) Devesh Mahla said the accused were identified as Sunil Kumar Taneja, 46, a resident of Gurugram; Suraj Yadav, 22; and Sumit Yadav, 25, both from Delhi.

Sumit, who worked at the Bentley showroom in Samrat Hotel, Chanakyapuri, allegedly shared inside information with Taneja, a former colleague from a used-car platform. The two had worked together three years ago before Sumit joined Bentley and Taneja began independent work. Taneja then roped in Suraj, a driver he knew, to carry out the plan, police said.
