Bhopal (Madhya Pradesh): The Mumbai Police has arrested Vinod Lakhan Pal, the main accused in the robbery of gold and silver items worth Rs 1.91 crore from a jewellery shop in the Agripada area.
The incident occurred on December 29, when Pal and another accomplice, pretending to be customers, brandished a gun and knife, tied up the shop owner and staff, assaulted them, and fled with the jewellery.
Following the jeweller’s complaint, the Agripada police registered a case of robbery and began their investigation.
They examined CCTV footage from the area and sought technical support, which eventually led them to Niwari district, where Pal was arrested on the night of January 1. Pal, a resident of Uttar Pradesh, had been previously arrested in a separate case four years ago. The Mumbai Police coordinated with local authorities in Niwari to apprehend the accused.
