The Hudkeshwar Police recently dismantled a notorious burglary gang responsible for several thefts across the city. The arrested members include Sameer Domendra Humne (18) from Amar Nagar, Ashutosh (known as Lucky or Nakkatya Shankar Raware, 20), also from Amar Nagar, and Gaurav (also known as Tenali Raju Raut, 18) from Ashok Nagar, Kanhan. Another accomplice, Mann Chaure, is still evading arrest.
The investigation was prompted after a burglary on December 17 at the home of Rajendra Pandurang Dahikar in Adiwasi Nagar. Senior Police Inspector Dnyaneshwar Bhedodkar led a special team, which was supported by PI Nageshkumar Chatarkar. Following thorough searches, the police were able to locate and arrest the three suspects and detain their minor accomplices.
During the arrests, the police recovered gold and silver jewellery worth Rs10.90 lakh, along with cash. Further inquiry revealed that the gang was involved in at least 11 other burglaries in areas like Hudkeshwar, MIDC, Ramtek, Kapil Nagar, Kanhan, and Kamptee.
The investigation is ongoing, and efforts to capture the remaining accomplice are underway.
