Four people, including a woman, allegedly held a girl hostage and looted Rs 12 lakh from a house in central Delhi's Chandni Chowk area, police said on Saturday.
According to officials, the accused tried to rob the victims and attacked them with sharp-edged weapons at separate lanes on the intervening night of Friday.
The suspect identified as Sushil Kumar alias Topi of Ishar Nagar, Ludhiana, is a history-sheeter with at least 18 cases registered against him previously.
