The arrest came as a result of an investigation carried out by a team led by Senior Police Inspector of RCF Police Station Ranjit Jadhav. The team comprised Inspector of Police (Crime) Kiran Mandhare, and other dedicated officers of the RCF police, the police said.
According to the police, a case was registered on June 20, following a complaint filed with the RCF police. The complainant had told the police that he had parked his bike and when he returned he found that some parts of his bike were missing. After the complainant reported the theft of spare parts from his parked motorcycle, the RCF police initiated an investigation.
An FIR under Section 379 of the Indian Penal Code was registered by the police in the matter and an investigation was launched by a team of police officials from RCF police, an official said.

Upon further questioning, Rajbhar confessed to the crime and revealed the involvement of his accomplice, Akbar Aslam Sayed, 19. Akbar was subsequently traced and arrested.
The police said that both the suspects are motorcycle mechanics who would steal spare parts from parked motorcycles during nighttime. These stolen parts were later used by Rajbhar in the motorcycles brought to him for repairs.

It includes 32 different types of spare parts worth Rs. 30,000, a building lift motor, and various other components.
