<p>After praying at the shrine, as the couple walked out they were arrested by the police. After a short chase, the police were able to easily nab the wanted couple.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Police Commissioner Sidhu stated that they recovered a sum of Rs2.1 million ($25,500 approx.)&nbsp;from the couple.

The police said that nine people, accused in the robbery case, have been arrested by them.&nbsp;</p>
