The Railway Police’s Local Crime Branch (LCB) have cracked the Bandra-Jaipur Express robbery case that took place last week between Goregaon and Jogeshwari stations in Mumbai. Investigations have revealed the involvement of Haryana’s notorious ‘Fasi’ gang. The LCB have arrested one of the gang members and are on the lookout for the rest, said senior inspector Vijay Khedekar of LCB. The team used CCTV footage and field intelligence to track the suspects.

According to sources, the incident occurred last week when Ayub Khan, 36, a construction businessman residing in Jogeshwari, was returning to Mumbai from Rajasthan on the Jaipur-Bandra Terminus Express with his wife, Heena, 30. Their two young children were travelling on an air-conditioned (AC) coach compartment and were to alight at Andheri.

After the train crossed Borivli and slowed down, four unidentified men dressed in khaki shirts and trousers approached Hina and told her to move the family’s luggage to the doorway, stating that Andheri station was approaching. One of the accused also helped her shift the luggage. The compartment was nearly empty at the time as most passengers had alighted at other stations.
