Went to meet relative at Sassoon hospital and plotted the theft
Accused Mujawar worked as a centring worker. He lost his job in the lockdown. Then in August 2021, he came to visit a relative who was admitted to Sassoon Hospital. At that time, he thought that he might steal a bike from the area. He then stole six two-wheelers from near Sassoon Hospital in just four months. However, he could not sale the vehicles because of lack of documents, DCP Patil said.
The investigation team included Senior Inspector Yashwant Gawari, Sub-Inspector Rahul Pawar, and police personnel Mohan Kale, Feroz Sheikh, Harish More, Pratap Gaikwad, Sudhir Ghotkule, Anil Kusalkar, Sanjay Vanve, Sagar Ghorpade and Kiran Talekar.
