Thane: Kalyan Chain Snatching Foiled: Chain Snatcher Arrested In Record Time
Kalyan, 19th October 2023: In the Kalyan region of Thane, law enforcement swiftly detained an individual just six hours after the committing of a crime. The police apprehended the suspect for attempting to snatch a gold chain from a woman.
The accused, Ashwin Sadaphule, is a resident of Kalyan. On a Tuesday, as Priya Sawant, a woman who had just picked up her daughter from school, was heading home in the afternoon, Ashwin suddenly approached her from behind and forcibly seized a gold chain from her neck. When Priya resisted, he used a sharp weapon to injure her on the neck before fleeing the scene.
Swiftly, Priya received medical attention at a nearby government hospital, where she is currently under treatment. Following her complaint, a case was filed at the Khadakpada police station against Ashwin. The Kalyan Assistant Police Commissioner, Kalyanji Ghete, provided guidance as Khadakpada Senior Police Inspector Sarjerao Patil, along with Anil Gaikwad, Sharad Jhine, and Nandkumar Kaiche, initiated the investigation. Remarkably, the police apprehended Ashwin Sadaphule within a mere six hours, locating him in the Kalyan Mohane area.
Police sources suggest that Ashwin had previously been employed as a security guard. However, three months ago, he lost his job and, facing financial difficulties, resorted to criminal activities. Unfortunately for him, his first theft attempt led to his apprehension. Authorities are continuing their investigation into the matter.
