Under the ongoing ‘Operation Trinetra’, Nagaur Police achieved a major breakthrough by arresting Moolchand alias Mulya, a Rs15,000 reward-carrying criminal and a key member of the interstate Bawariya gang, involved in multiple high-value thefts.
SP Mridul Kachhawa stated that the arrest was the result of a joint operation conducted by Medtacity Police Station and the District Special Team (DST) Medta. Moolchand was wanted for a broad daylight burglary on April 11, 2025, in Kurdaya village, where the gang looted valuables worth approximately ₹30 lakh.
According to victim Parma Devi, the gang stole 30 tolas of gold jewelry, 900 grams of silver ornaments, and Rs1.5 lakh in cash. Three other gang members — Nandaram, Hansraj, and Sheru — had already been apprehended earlier.
Police investigations revealed that the Bawariya gang operates in groups of 10–12, using small vehicles with fake number plates. During the heists, 2–3 members would break into homes while others stood guard outside, armed with stones, sticks, and other weapons.
The arrested accused, Moolchand alias Mulya, son of Ramdev Bawariya from Phulera, Jaipur, is a core gang member with a criminal record including robbery, dacoity, and sexual offences under the POCSO Act.
Authorities believe that his arrest will help solve several pending theft and burglary cases across Nagaur, Didwana, Jaipur, and nearby districts.
The operation was led by SHO Dharmesh Dayama, with active involvement from the DST Medta team and Phulera Police personnel, marking a significant success in curbing organized theft in the region.
