**Bhopal Police Nab Two Members of Notorious Theft Gang, Recover Stolen Valuables Worth Rs 1.5 Crore**
Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh – The Kohefiza police have arrested two members of a notorious gang involved in theft and identified three more absconding suspects. The operation led to the recovery of stolen gold jewellery and other valuables valued at Rs 1.5 crore.
The case came to light on September 29 when Kamal Shobhani, a resident of Om Nagar, Halalpura, filed a complaint regarding a burglary at his neighbour Anand Parashar’s house. Following the report, police registered a case and launched a thorough investigation.
Deputy Police Commissioner Abhinav Chouksey informed the media on Monday that dedicated teams were formed to track down the accused. The investigation involved analyzing CCTV footage and PSTN data from the area, which helped pinpoint several suspicious phone numbers.
Acting on this intelligence, police successfully apprehended two suspects and recovered the stolen items from their possession. The arrested individuals include Ravi Vishwakarma alias Nikki (30), a resident of Subhash Nagar, from whom gold jewellery valued at Rs 1.3 crore was seized. Alongside him, a woman accomplice was also arrested, with jewellery and two mobile phones worth Rs 20 lakh recovered from her.
The total recovered items include approximately 1,250 grams of gold jewellery, four mobile phones, and three silver coins — collectively estimated at Rs 1.5 crore.
DCP Chouksey further revealed that the police have identified three absconding accused: Devu alias Devashish Sharma, Ankit Tiwari (24), and Ajju alias Ajay Shakya. All three are residents of Subhash Nagar, Bhopal, with one originally from Rae Bareli, Uttar Pradesh. The police are actively pursuing efforts to arrest the remaining suspects.
The Kohefiza police continue their crackdown on organised crime, aiming to ensure the safety and security of the community.
