Sumit Kumar, 32, a civil engineer, and his two accomplices were arrested for looting the car's passengers at gun point on the Gurgaon-Faridabad road.
His two accomplices have been identified as 35-year-old Devender Kumar and 36-year-old Vilat Mehta.
Sumit and Devender are residents of Rasoolpur village in Delhi. Mehta hails from Nepal but was currently living in a rented accommodation in Rasoolpur.
The trio committed the robbery Tuesday evening near Sector 56 under Sadar police station.

The robbed car as well as the car used by the trio, along with a revolver, were recovered from their possession.
They had hatched a plan to rob a bank in Rohtak district of Haryana and intended to abandon the hijacked car after 'using' it.
