The tattoos on a body found dismembered between the railway tracks near Santacruz on October 15, helped the Borivli GRP identify the person as a thief who targeted long-distance trains. It was around 7 am, when the police learnt that a man had been mowed down by Churchgate-bound local train. Bandra Government Railway Police (GRP) officials found a broken mangalsutra, a pendant, two gold rings, two cell phones and cash of Rs 1.50 lakh with the body.

Deputy Commissioner of Police Pradeep Chavan formed a team including Assistant Commissioner of Police, Bandra (GRP) division Surekha Kapile; Senior Inspector Vilas Chougule; Sub-Inspector Dattatrey Gite and others to conduct a thorough investigation.
