Police has arrested two clever thieves who committed this sensational theft of watches worth crores of rupees. Both the thieves are active members of the interstate Chadar Gang (Ghodasahan). The special thing is that they commit the crime after doing recce and after committing the crime they go to Nepal.
DCP Trans Hindon Nimish Dashrath Patil told the media that on the night of August 10, unknown thieves broke into Sai Creation showroom in the police station Indirapuram area and stole watches worth crores of rupees. The thieves stole 671 watches of expensive international brands, which cost three crores rupees. The special thing was that the thieves carried out the crime in a sensational manner by uprooting the shutter behind the showroom with a sheet.
Shri Patil informed that today the culprits Santosh Kumar Jaiswal and Rohit Kumar Paswan have been arrested from Kanavani Pushta Road in front of Chhijarsi Cut. 125 watches of international brands have been recovered from their possession.
During police interrogation, accused Santosh Kumar Jaiswal told that he is originally from Ghodasahan, Bihar and he sells fried chicken and fish on a cart in Ghodasahan, which is his ancestral work, but due to not getting much profit in it, he got involved in crime. Many gangs of thieves operate in Ghodasahan which carry out incidents of theft in various states of the country. Santosh started working with Sachin and Siraj's gang after coming in contact with them. Earlier, with Siraj's gang, he had stolen mobiles by uprooting the shutters of a mobile showroom in Jwalapur Haridwar in Uttarakhand state by putting a sheet. In which 09 members of his gang were arrested, in which Santosh was absconding and a cash prize of one lakh rupees was also announced for his arrest. After being released from jail, these people again formed a gang in which Santosh, Rohit Paswan, Siraj, Jitendra alias Jitan Sahni, Roshan, Rahul Paswan and Jitan Paswan of Sitamadhi and Sachin, Pramod and Asami alias Santosh of Nepal started committing thefts in various states of the country by putting up sheets. Accused Rohit Paswan told that he too is originally from Ghodasahan and used to sell chicken and fish on a cart. Rohit and his brother Rahul Paswan earlier used to do theft in the gang of Naeem Ustad and Vijay who were from Ghodasahan Bihar. They had committed theft by breaking the shutter of a mobile showroom by putting up sheets in Thana Nalasopara District Thane Maharashtra, in which 09 members of their gang were arrested. After being released from jail, both the brothers joined the gang of Sachin and Siraj and started committing thefts.
On interrogation, both the accused told that we have a gang that steals by putting sheets outside the showroom and breaking the shutters. They roam around the country and commit thefts in different states. Sachin, Pramod and Asami alias Santosh are residents of Nepal in their gang, who mostly go to Nepal with the stolen goods after the theft. Ghodasahan is also located on the Nepal border. After the theft, everyone mostly leaves their house and stays in Nepal and sells all the goods there and divides the money among themselves. The member who does the recce and brings everyone and bears their expenses till the theft is done gets a bigger share. Before committing the crime, they rent a room near the city where the crime is to be committed and start doing labour or painting work etc. After slowly identifying the shop after doing recce, they call the rest of their members. Before committing the crime, they leave their mobiles in the room itself.
