Mumbai man held in Jaipur robbery, gems worth 70L recovered
Jaipur: City police Monday arrested a 39-year-old man from Mumbai in connection with the sensational Rs 75 lakh robbery near SMS Hospital on June 3 and recovered gems and jewellery worth Rs 70 lakh from his possession. Accused Ajay Kumar Nat, a native of Bharatpur, is the elder brother of gang leader Santosh Chauhan. Police recovered several emerald necklaces and a gemstone-studded ring from his residence in Mumbai. The case was lodged by jeweller Brijmohan Gandhi, who reported that two men on a motorcycle smashed the window of his parked car at the Prithviraj Road red light and fled with a bag containing emerald necklaces (700 ct), nine ruby stones (1,500 ct), diamond rings, cash, and other valuables. A case was registered under charges of robbery and criminal conspiracy. Based on CCTV footage, police earlier detained Dharmveer alias Rahul Jat from Bharatpur. During interrogation, he named his accomplices: Santosh Singh Chauhan, Vishal alias Bissu, Aniket alias Lala, Rahul Chaudhary, and Arvind alias Neta. The gang reportedly trailed the jeweller from Johari Bazaar and executed the robbery at the Prithviraj T-point. Subsequent arrests were made in Bharatpur and Mumbai. Key recoveries include the vehicle used in the crime, two motorcycles, a .32 bore revolver, and some pieces of the stolen jewellery. Police said Arvind initially kept one necklace before handing it to Ajay Kumar Nat in Bharatpur. Ajay, who acted as the gang's handler, allegedly downplayed the value of the loot to his associates and fled to Thane. During sustained interrogation, he led the police to the stash of jewellery. "Efforts are underway to nab absconding accused Santosh Chauhan and Vishal alias Bissu," said an official. Police said the gang is known for targeting jewellers and hawala operators in Jaipur and Mumbai. Ajay Kumar was primarily responsible for disposing of stolen goods and maintaining the gang's anonymity.
