The accused was brought here as part of investigation.

Arrested under the provisions of IPC 395 (dacoity), he was produced before the Judicial First Class Magistrate court here, which remanded him in two weeks' custody on Wednesday, he said.

The police have so far arrested four members of the gang, and two more members are still at large.
