A 19-year-old boy has been nabbed for stealing Rs 4 lakh from a neighbouring house in Hansapuri. Rohit Barmaiyya is said to committed the crime to earn easy bucks and fund his addictions like gambling and foreign liquor. Barmaiyya, the mastermind in the robbery, was accompanied by two cousins, Ajay and Raj Gaur, who have also been arrested. Acting on a tip off from sources and old fashioned crime scene investigation, the Tehsil cops cracked the case within three days of the robbery.
The robbery had come to light when the victim, Ajay Thakre returned to his Hansapuri home from a religious tour on August 22. The miscreants had taken cash Rs 26,000 and 36 tola gold, totally worth Rs 4 lakh. The miscreants had allegedly spent all the cash, but the cops were able to recover valuables worth Rs 3 lakh from them. Talking to TOI, senior inspector of Tehsil police station SP Nandanwar said that while investigating the him into confidence and asked him to help us. Later, while gambling, our decoy heard something about Barmaiyya and informed us.
On sustained questioning, Barmaiyya revealed that he had kept a watch on the house and planned the robbery," said Nandanwar. Police said none of the three miscreants have any past criminal records. "It was their first attempt. All of them were school dropout and belonged to poor families. Their only motive behind the robbery was to be able to gamble and drink," said a cop. crime scene, the police learnt that the thieves had entered from a small opening in the back door of the house.
Interestingly, that door opened into a small lane. "If the thief had been a stranger, he would not have known the small opening. Hence, we got an inkling that the miscreants might be a nearby resident or a known person. So, we kept an eye on suspicious persons," said Nandanwar. On rounding up 12 suspects from the area, the cops came upon a miscreant who had been arrested earlier in a minor robbery. "We took him into confidence and asked him to help us.
