Thane: Shocking Heist Unfolds in Bhiwandi: Woman’s Gold Mangalsutra Stolen in Bold Robbery

Bhiwandi, 23rd October 2023: In a brazen incident that unfolded at Patripool in Bhiwandi, a woman travelling by rickshaw from Kalher to Kalyan East fell the victim of a daring robbery. The two assailants, riding a motorbike, snatched a valuable gold mangalsutra worth Rs 65,000 from the victim. The incident occurred on a Sunday evening at approximately 7:30 p.m.

The complainant, identified as Anita Milind Gaikwad, was in the company of her husband as they made their way back from Kalher village via rickshaw. While passing through Patripool, suddenly two individuals on a motorbike approached her rikshaw from behind.

With a dexterous action, the thieves forcefully removed the gold chain from Mrs. Gaikwad’s neck while the rickshaw was in motion. In the process, she sustained a minor injury. In the wake of the theft, both Anita and her husband raised the alarm, shouting like thieves. Regrettably, the criminals managed to make their escape towards Netivali before any apprehension could take place.

Acting promptly upon Anita’s report, the local authorities have registered a case at the Kolsevadi police station.
