Nitin Vijaykar, a police inspector, was arrested by the Vashi police in connection with a dacoity case, wherein he allegedly received a portion of the loot amounting to Rs 3.50 lakh from the total sum of Rs 2 crore recovered during the investigation.
 
Vijaykar, along with five accomplices, were arrested for the abduction and robbery of a businessman. Following his arrest, Vijaykar was promptly suspended from his duties by the department due to his involvement in criminal activities. “Vijaykar is due to retire in three years, however, he won’t be reinstated in the force after his recent involvement in criminal activities,” said an official.
