**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.

Women practising garba abducted by armed group in MP`s Mandsaur; 7 held

At around 9:30 pm on Saturday, several unidentified men and women entered Bhavsar Dharamshala within Kotwali police station limits, brandishing illegal weapons and forcibly abducted a woman by dragging her into a four-wheeler, an official confirmed.

Superintendent of Police Vinod Kumar Meena stated that the abduction was carried out by the woman’s relatives, according to reports from IANS. Kotwali station in-charge Pushpendra Singh Rathore identified the arrested individuals as Ramchandra; Manisha, also known as Bunty; Kamlesh, also known as Ghota; Fakirachand; Shambhulal; Shyamabai—all residents of Chachawada Sathiya under Garoth Police Station—and Dinesh from Bhunki Hatunia.

A case has been registered under charges relating to kidnapping, the Arms Act, and other relevant sections. Officials have confirmed that further investigation is ongoing.

The woman was participating in a Navratri celebration alongside other women and young girls when four men and two women suddenly arrived at the venue. Without warning, they grabbed her and began forcibly dragging her away. A young woman who tried to intervene was pushed aside. One of the accused brandished a pistol-like object, causing panic among attendees.

Video footage captured the chaos, showing people fleeing in fear as the woman was taken away, said Kotwali police station in-charge Pushpendra Singh Rathore, according to the IANS report.

Upon receiving the alert, police quickly responded and imposed a district-wide blockade. Within two hours, Kotwali police traced and apprehended all seven accused and safely recovered the abducted woman. The vehicle involved in the abduction and the pistol—which was later confirmed to be a toy—were also seized, police added.

According to the woman’s statement, she had previously been married but left her husband due to repeated physical abuse and had filed for divorce. For the past four months, she had been living with a young man named Yash in Khanpura. Her family and in-laws, reportedly angered by this relationship, orchestrated the abduction to bring her back home.

Local residents have expressed outrage over the incident, especially given its timing during a significant cultural celebration. The event has reignited discussions on personal freedom, family pressure, and the urgent need for stronger protections for women in both private and public spaces.
