Cops nab domestic help, beau; recover stolen diamond rings
Nagpur: In a swift operation, Jaripatka police, under zonal DCP Niketan Kadam, recovered two diamond-studded rings worth Rs9 lakh, apprehending a domestic help and her accomplice.
The accused, Maria Suka, was nabbed from a remote area in West Bengal, while her boyfriend Pravin Badgujar was arrested in Nashik, where the stolen jewellery was found.
Maria, employed at the Aggrawal family's residence at Kadbi Chowk, allegedly stole the rings a week ago. She fled to Nashik by train, handing over the valuables to Badgujar for safekeeping. Acting on a tip-off, Jaripatka police, led by senior inspector Arun Kshirsagar, tracked Maria by using her cellphone location.
A team coordinated with West Bengal police to detain Suka, while another unit apprehended Badgujar in Nashik, recovering the stolen rings.
DCP Kadam, a 2019-batch IPS officer, collaborated with his Kharagpur-based batchmate to execute the inter-state operation.
The police's quick response and meticulous tracking ensured the recovery of the high-value jewellery within days. "The arrests and recovery reflect our commitment to swift justice," said Kshirsagar.
