Nagpur: The arrest of notorious burglar Naresh Mahilange by a crime branch team from the city's outskirts on Saturday came with a twist. The police also took his attorney-turned-girlfriend into custody for her involvement in a spate of cases over the last couple of months.
This includes the housebreaking incident at Kotwali, where valuables worth Rs24 lakhs were stolen earlier this month. The police recovered stolen valuables worth Rs21 lakh from the burglars.
The girlfriend, who had earlier secured bail for Mahilange in 18 cases, had gone out of her way to provide logistical support to the notorious burglar. This included helping him procure a SIM card with fake documents. She also helped Mahilange to dispose of stolen valuables, and bailed out his accomplice Amrapal Patil, another notorious burglar.
The police have also nabbed Patil. Another accused, Fardeen Khan, was apprehended for purchasing the stolen valuables.
Police said Mahilange and Patil stole a bike from Koradi in April-end before abandoning it at Wathoda and moving to Beltarodi, where they stole a car. They then moved to Patansawangi on an Activa. After stealing a car from Patansawangi, they went to Kapil Nagar and broke into a house before decamping with valuables.

In June first week, Mahilange and Patil broke into the house of Jasani family at Mahal, decamping with valuables worth Rs24 lakhs. The burglars also fled with the DVR of the CCTV camera and threw it in a nullah. The crime branch team, comprising Asst PI Nitin Churpal, sub-inspector Madhukar Kokate, head constable Rajesh Deshmukh, and others under DCP, Crime, Rahul Maknikar, ACP Abhijit Patil, and Addl CP (Crime) Vasant Pardeshi, nabbed Mahilange and his gang using technical surveillance system.
Sources said Mahilange committed the burglary at the Jasani residence with his face covered, but the police identified him with the help of CCTV footage. Mahilange's gait while sneaking out of the house was identified by seasoned cops, who tracked him down with cellphone surveillance of his girlfriend, who was already on the police radar.
