Rahul, Bablu and Ikhlaq were arrested on Thursday. They had stolen an LED TV from the former India skipper's house, which was on rent to one Vikram Singh. The television in Dhoni's house was stolen allegedly while some renovation work was taking place.
Police said the accused also stole a Digital Video Recorder to destroy evidence.
The accused would pretend to sell items in the area and recce empty houses. "They would look at houses with no lights switched on, and ring the doorbell multiple times to observe if someone came out -- just to ensure no one was inside before breaking into it," a senior police officer said.
Nine batteries, three inverters, five laptops and five LED TVs, among other items, were recovered from the possession of the accused.
The police suspect that there might be more people in the gang.
