A Picpocket who stole a 19-year-old's wallet on the Metro was nabbed less than four hours after the crime was reported, thanks to CCTV footage and alert staff. The incident occurred last Saturday around 6 pm at the Azad Nagar Metro station. Hours later, one of the accused, Sajid Ibrahim Sheikh, was held at Ghatkopar Metro station and handed over to the Andheri police at 10.10 pm. His accomplice, however, managed to escape.

Speaking about the incident, the complainant Yash Rajesh Sonle said, "I took a Metro from Azad Nagar around 6 pm and alighted at Andheri. My co-passengers told me my bag was open. While I was zipping it shut, I noticed my wallet was missing. I immediately called the Metro staff to inform them about this and was asked to file a complaint at the Andheri police station. I felt hopeless about getting my wallet back."
