Two unidentified men, under the pretext of offering help, allegedly stole gold jewellery worth Rs 75,000 from a couple who had just met with an accident on their way home in Pune. The incident took place on Thursday at around 10 pm near Shriram Chowk in Tilekarnagar, Kondhwa.
According to TOI, 32-year-old Sachin Sanjay Mahajan and his wife were en route home from Yewalewadi when their motorcycle slid down the road after hitting a pothole and they both fell off the motorcycle. The Kondhwa-based shop owner stated that he fainted for a while, and his wife sustained minor injuries on her hands.
Soon after, two men, who posed as Good Samaritans, offered them help and also lifted their motorcycle and parked it properly. The couple thanked the two men for a sweet gesture as they were leaving the place.
While talking to his wife shortly after the accident, the man realised that his gold chain worth Rs 75,000 was missing. The couple looked for it in the area but couldn’t find it and that’s when their suspicion fell on the two men who had helped them.
As they decided to go after them, they found out that the duo might have stolen the keys to their motorcycle as well. The couple immediately rushed to the Kondhwa police station and registered a complaint against the two men.
The Kondhwa police official told TOI, “He approached us and lodged a complaint. Our investigations are ongoing.” Mr Mahajan works with a private company and recently started a disposable store in Tilekarnagar.
Vinay Patankar, Senior Police Inspector, told the Free Press Journal (FPJ) that they are investigating the CCTV footage in the area and the snatchers will be arrested soon. Kondhwa Police have registered a case under Sections 303(2) and 3(5) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS).
