The accused told police that he has been involved in other similar cases.
In September 2015, he had targeted one individual, whom he had offered Frooti laced with drugs and then taken away his two mobile phones along with some cash.
Two mobile phones, one ATM card and 30 tablets of Lorazepam (sleeping pills) have been recovered.
The accused was previously serving in a private company.
“Due to continuous illness and differences with his family members, he was not staying at his residence for the last five-six years and he used to stay in low budget lodges and guest houses.
“He used to pay money at these lodges by either stealing or selling stolen articles,” Yadav added.
Police is probing about his involvement in other cases.
