A GRP constable headed for work caught a member of the fatka gang after a chase of 500 metres, on Tuesday. The accused had stolen a train passenger's mobile phone at Sewri station.

Constable PB Kamble, attached to Wadala GRP, was waiting for a train at Sewri station, to head to Reay Road at 10 pm when he heard someone shout, "chor, chor!" "Kamble looked for the source of commotion but the local train in which the victim Surendra Sao, 39, was traveling, by then left the station. He saw a man scaling down a signal pole and looking for something between the track," said Rajendra Pal, senior inspector at Wadala GRP.
