Acting on a tip-off by informers, the MHB police on Friday arrested nine people who had looted a person with gold jewelry worth Rs 42 lakhs. The police have made arrests and have solved the case within 48 hours of the crime taking place.

Officials said, “On July 18, around 9.30 pm, Lal Shaikh (20) was taking ornaments for polishing along with the owner Jignesh Shah, when he was stopped near the Dahisar railway station by four people, who started pushing him and started shouting 'chor chor'. The four accused beat up Shah and made away with his bag which contained gold ornaments worth Rs 42 lakhs. Initially, the police had filed a case of robbery, but when they began the investigation they realised that more than 4 people were involved and sections of dacoit were then applied to the case.
