The MRA Marg police have successfully apprehended a duo suspected of snatching the phone of a victim and fleeing the scene. The incident came to light on July 30, when the victim, Rajesh Salunke, 30, reported the missing phone at the police station.

According to the victim’s statement in the FIR, the incident occurred around 6 am near Bora Bazar, in close proximity to the DCP Zone 1 office. Two unknown individuals were reportedly seated on a scooter, with one of them snatching Salunke’s phone while the other operated the vehicle. Salunke narrated, “Two unknown people were seated on a scooter, one of them snatched my phone and the other one was riding the scooter.” The police launched an intensive investigation, meticulously analysing nearly 100 CCTV footage recordings from areas, including Fort, J.J Junction, and Bhat Bazar. Despite the lack of a clear image of the alleged culprits, a blurry photograph provided a lead. An informer familiar with the local scene identified a potential suspect.
