Pune: Chikhali police on Friday arrested three men for allegedly tying up a 60-year-old woman at her bungalow and robbing her of gold and silver jewellery and cash collectively worth Rs 58.87 lakh on Oct 13. A police team led by senior police inspector Ranjeet Jadhav arrested the accused — Anarulla Chaudhari (36) of Kudalwadi, Abdul Momin (39) of Kandivali in Mumbai and Samiullah Khan (32) of Mumbra — with the help of CCTV footage and a tip-off. The police have recovered the entire booty from the accused. He added that the police acted on a tip-off received by inspector Amol Phadtare and took the trio into custody. The police also seized the motorcycle and a sharp weapon from them.
When they walked past the bungalow, they found that it was the only one in the area, surrounded by shops,” Jadhav said. The three were having tea at an eatery near the victim’s house in Jyotibanagar, Talawade. “They learnt that the eatery owner lived in a nearby bungalow.
We checked more than 70 CCTV cameras and traced the accused’s motorcycle.
We could not trace the motorcycle beyond Kudalwadi, following which we focused our investigation there,” Jadhav said. “After receiving the complaint, our team swung into action.
