With arrest of prime accused and recovery of stolen gold ornaments worth Rs 21 lakh, Bajaj Nagar police on Tuesday claimed to have solved a burglary case.
A police official said that house of Prof. Yogesh Shende (37), a resident of Railway Colony, Rana Pratap Nagar was burgled in August last year when Shende along with family members had gone to relative’s place. The intruders had stolen gold ornaments weighing 455 grams and Rs 35,000/- in cash, the police said.
After registering an offence, the police started investigation and arrested Amol Mahadeo Raut (32), a resident of Butibori. But only cash of Rs 35,000/- was recovered from him. During interrogation, Raut told the police that his accomplices in the crime Shrikant Jeevan Nikhade (29), resident of Titur, Kuhi, had kept the jewellry with him.
When the police failed to arrest Nikhade, they declared him absconding. He was evading arrest for past one year. Acting on a tip-off that Nikhade is working as driver in Lakhandur town of Bhandara district, the police visited the place. Before the police could reach him, Nikhade managed to escape from the town.
During the absconding period, Nikhade was continuously changing his mobile numbers so that the police could not trace his location.
During their visit at Lakhandur, the police had activated some informers and asked them to inform the police whenever they received call from Nikhade. On Sunday, Nikhade made a phone call to an informer who promptly alerted the police. The cops immediately swung into action and arrested Nikhade from a Dhaba near Saoner where he was working as a labour.

The world’s most powerful man was made to wait for 11 minutes in his car while an Indian cop took on American officials for their unwarranted interference in the US President’s security. KM Mallikarjuna Prasanna, Special Inspector General of Police of Nagpur Range, still continues to work with the same pride, wearing his patriotism on the sleeve. “Had they (Americans) deployed their personnel for area security, then the message would have been Indians are unable to protect VIPs in their nation,” recounted Prasanna on the episode that is one of the highlights of his distinguished career of a skillful investigator. The story of the IPS officer of 2000 batch is worth a film. In fact, a movie (Nagarjun-starrer ‘Officer’) has already been made by Ram Gopal Verma last year. His real life script als...
