What is the best way to arrest or grip moving Mild steel work-piece using KUKA robot? The work-piece is moving at constant speed on overhead conveyor and those are hooks actually used for powder coating purpose or Mild still panels.

I'm not sure why the material is relevant.
The conveyor, however, is a potential problem, especially if it doesn't stop moving. That would probably require using ConveyorTech to synchronize the robot to the conveyor.
But from your description, the parts are hanging from hooks, which is another possible complication. How much do the parts swing? How consistently are the parts hung on the hooks? These are the factors that are likely to be the most problematic for any robot.

I suggest using a (electro)magnet. If you do, then the material is kind of relevant On the other hand, slight swinging and part shape (as long as they aren't spheroids) don't matter.
