In a major theft case in Bodakdev, police have arrested two men, including a peon, for stealing a massive sum of Rs 25.73 lakh from an office. The theft took place at Hari Om Infrastructure, located on SBR, where the accused managed to steal valuable cash.
The arrested individuals were identified as 31-year-old peon Sanjay Rawal and his accomplice Shiva Rawal, aged 30. The investigation began after a report was filed regarding the missing cash. During questioning, Sanjay confessed to his involvement in the crime and explained how he had conspired with Shiva to steal the money.
According to the police, Sanjay had informed Shiva about the large amount of money in the office and planned the theft with him. Shiva, in turn, brought in his friend, Hemendra Patidar, and with Sanjay’s help, they gained access to the office by using a duplicate key. Sanjay showed them how to steal the valuables and cash without being noticed.
After the theft, the accused were tracked down by the police. A search of their possession led to the recovery of Rs 5.25 lakh in cash. Both Sanjay and Shiva were arrested, and further investigations are underway to ascertain whether they have committed any similar crimes in the past.
The police are also investigating the involvement of Hemendra Patidar and are taking action to ensure full recovery of the stolen amount.
