In a swift operation, Nirmal Nagar police arrested three suspects for stealing gold ornaments worth Rs 32 lakh from a jeweller’s shop in Bandra East, Mumbai, and recovered the stolen property within 12 hours.
The accused, identified as Shravan Navik, Sonali Yadav, and Fazal Parmar, were apprehended after investigators analyzed CCTV footage and traced the stolen gold and Rs 32 lakh in cash.
