Pune:
In a significant action, the Bharti Vidyapeeth Police have arrested the tadipar criminal and his three accomplices while attempting robbery, in spite of being declared tadipar by the court for two years.
The arrested individuals have been identified as Tausif Jamir Syed alias Chuha (age 28, a resident of Santosh Nagar, Katraj), Suraj Rajendra Jadhav (age 35, residing in front of Rupchand Talim, Mangalwar Peth, Taluka Karmala, District Solapur), Marcus David Isar (age 29, a resident of Raghunandan Apartment, Dhanori), and Kunal Kamlesh Jadhav (age 25, a resident of Prasad Residency, Somnath Nagar, Vadgaon Sheri). The fifth gang member, Janab (a resident of Camp), is at large.
In this regard, the Police Ammaldar Dhanaji Dhotre has lodged a complaint at Bharti Vidyapeeth Police Station. The incident took place around 4 a.m. on Sunday in front of Delight Bakery in Santosh Nagar, Katraj.
Tausif Syed, alias Chuha, has several complaints of rioting, robbery, and theft registered against him. He was detained under the MPDA in 2020. After his release from jail, his criminal activities continued. Therefore, the then Police Commissioner Amitabh Gupta took MCOCA action against him. In this case, Special Judge V.R. Kachare had declared him as tadipar for two years from November 6, 2023. Despite this, Chuha had violated this order and came to the city.
The police received information that he was hiding with his accomplices in Katraj, preparing to commit a robbery. The police then surrounded them and arrested all four accused. In the subsequent investigation, police seized a country-made pistol, a live cartridge, and materials like a mephedrone, sickle, digital weighing scale, twine, and a screwdriver from them.
This action was taken by Senior Police Inspector Sharad Zine, Police Sub-Inspector Suresh Shinde, Police Sub-Inspector Mohan Kalamkar, and their colleagues. The Police Sub-Inspector, Mohan Kalamkar, is conducting further investigation in this regard.
