Police identified the mountaineer as Raghav Pareek, a resident of Sikar, while two other accused were listed as Naman Tiwari (21) and Pravish Khandelwal (30). The fourth accused, Neeraj Sharma, was held in New Delhi for buying stolen cameras.

The accused then travelled to New Delhi where they sold the products to Sharma. The accused divided the money amongst themselves and with the money Pareek brought an expensive phone.
“The accused stole six cameras. We had examined the CCTVs and zeroed in on the accused,” said an official, adding that Pareeek’s family runs a business in Shrimadhopur of Sikar district.
