Mumbai Railway Police arrested 20-year-old Shivkumar Maurya from Vasai for stealing Rs 7.77 lakh left behind on a Churchgate-bound fast train. A senior citizen from Kandivli had lodged a complaint after mistakenly leaving his bag on the train while rushing to get off at Mumbai Central, due to the train skipping Charni Road station.
After realizing the bag was missing, the victim checked the compartment but found it gone. The railway police’s crime branch reviewed CCTV footage across stations and identified Maurya as the thief. He was arrested on May 29, and police have recovered Rs 6.52 lakh so far.
The investigation was led by Senior Inspector Vijay Khedkar along with Inspector Rohit Sawant and Assistant Inspector Abhijeet Tailor.
