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.
