With the help of the stolen mobile in the bag, the Pune Railway Police were able to trace the thief to Hyderabad. The accused Vadtyaraja Kishan Chavan (22) a resident of Nagamgalla, Hyderabad, was arrested from his house in Andhra Pradesh two days ago.
Chavan was not a habitual bag-lifter. He had lifted the bag under the influence of liquor. Bag owner Judge Naik was in the city and was going back to Gwalior in Madhya Pradesh by Jhelum Express a month ago.
Chavan stole the bag, when it was kept in a queue on platform No 1 and took off for Hyderabad in another train.
