Tiger Security had been trying to nab them by setting up several attempts of trap.

On the third day, they saw four men entering the factory with stealth through a small gap situated at the height They had climbed railing rod several feats above the ground level.
On landing inside the factory which was pitch dark due to no electricity, Tiger Security personnel already waiting inside to encounter nabbed two men into their clutches while other two fled from the spot.
