Ganesh Bhosale and Sanju Dokare
In a major breakthrough, the Crime Branch Unit 9 has apprehended two individuals involved in interstate robbery, ending a seven-year-long run. The duo were arrested on September 16 from Malad.
A police officer said, "Both the accused frequently changed their residence and mobile numbers, but through technical investigation and with inputs from reliable sources, the police successfully nabbed both of them."
Further investigations revealed that the accused had not only committed a robbery in Badanpur, Jalna, but had also been engaged in thefts across multiple states, including Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, and Uttar Pradesh, as confirmed by officer Daya Nayak.
The prime allegation against the pair stems from the reported robbery of 44 kg of gold from Hyderabad-based Muthoot Gold Finance.
