In Bhubaneswar, the Airport Police made an arrest on Sunday of a man suspected to be involved in a case of chain snatching. The accused, Juma Sheik, a resident of Mukundadaspur in Balipatna, had been on the run for the past two years. His two accomplices had already been caught by the police, but Sheik had managed to evade capture by frequently changing his address and going underground.
However, the police received a tip-off that Sheik was planning to return home, and they quickly set up a trap in the area. As expected, Sheik was spotted on Sunday morning and the waiting police team, disguised in plain clothes, apprehended him.
Last year on November 11, the police had received a complaint from Jayshree Sahoo, who claimed that two individuals on a motorcycle had snatched her gold chain while she was waiting for a bus near Pokhariput Square. After conducting an investigation, the police were able to track down and arrest Bidesh Dalai and Lingaraj Dalai in connection with the incident. During their questioning, the duo revealed that they had handed over the stolen chain to their associate, Juma Sheik.
Upon further interrogation, Juma admitted to selling the chain to a goldsmith for Rs 25,000. He claimed that he only had Rs 3,000 left from the sale. The investigation is ongoing, and the accused will be held accountable for their actions. This case serves as a reminder that crime does not pay and that the law will always catch up to those who try to evade it.
