The Goregaon police on Thursday arrested the main suspect in the Rs 92-lakh Kardhar jewellery shop robbery case in Rajasthan. After a week of hard work, the police officers from Zone XI, dressed in traditional Rajasthani attire, diligently tracked the suspect across various areas, including Rajsamand city. Eventually, they apprehended him as he was preparing to leave Rajasthan and escape to another state with the assistance of his friend’s driver. According to police sources, the arrested suspect has been identified as Suresh Lohar, 30. Lohar has a previous criminal record for a similar robbery in the Wadala area in 2018. He was arrested at that time and spent several months in jail before being released on bail.

In order to avoid being caught again, after committing the robbery at the Kardhar Jewellery shop, Lohar refrained from using his mobile phone. Instead, he planned to use mobile phones from auto drivers, taxi drivers, truck drivers, and other individuals using a common number in Rajasthan. The police were able to trace this common number, leading them to a woman who was romantically involved with the accused, as confirmed by an officer. Rather than returning to his village after the crime in Goregaon, Lohar met with his girlfriend and handed over the stolen jewellery, which she had kept with her mother.
