Khar police arrest two mobile thieves who used to dress up in Muslim attire when robbing innocents
The accused also picked phones from busy areas like stations
Capitalising on the growing anti-minority narrative, two men dressed in Muslim attire targeted evening walkers near the Khar Gymkhana and robbed their mobile phones. The duo was arrested after the police worked on a complaint and began studying footage from more than two dozen CCTV cameras. The two have been identified as Krishna Shetty and Rajesh Vilas Vast.
The police said Shetty and Vast live between Bandra and Khar and are experts at riding motorcycles at breakneck speed even in narrow lanes. They would mostly target even walkers busy on phones. After snatching the phone, they would zip through the Khar Subway towards the Western Express Highway.
