The police, on Wednesday, arrested a 21-year-old man, accused in several theft cases, who was absconding for the past three months, from Khar. Police have recovered a country-made revolver from him. The police, in the past three months, have tried to nab the accused four times, however, they failed as the accused managed to flee to Bangladesh each time, by crossing the border.

The accused, identified as Tariq-us-Nazmul Shaikh is from the Kattihar district in Bihar, which is located a few kilometres from the Bangladesh border. Shaikh worked as a cook at a Khar-based Chinese restaurant in 2021 and later got involved in robberies. Police said the accused was involved in many robberies in Mumbai, including breaking an ATM machine in Khar in November 2021.
