A 36-year-old man from Ahmedabad was arrested by the police in Pune for stealing smartphones from 70 auto drivers plying between Katraj-Kondhwa and Camp, as revenge after his girlfriend eloped with an auto driver.

The accused, identified as Asif aka Bhurabhai Arif Shaikh, was a restaurant owner in Ahmedabad. According to the police, Asif had come to Pune in June 2019 with his 27-year-old girlfriend after selling his property in Gujarat because his family was against their relationship, according to a report in Mumbai Mirror.
