Jafar then hatched a plan to steal cash and gold ornaments from his father Javed Thara’s electronic locker and flee to Saudi Arabia. Accordingly, Jafar stole the cash and gold jewellery collectively worth Rs 73 lakh from the locker when his father Javed Thara and other family members had gone to Kamptee to attend a relative’s engagement ceremony. Jafar kept the cash and ornaments at Wajid’s house at Ganjakhet.
After Javed Thara lodged a complaint with Shantinagar Police, a team of Unit-III of Crime Branch conducting simultaneous probe intensely grilled Jafar who later confessed to committing the theft in connivance with Wajid.
The case was cracked by API Madhuri Nerkar, API Pawan Morey, PSI Balram Zadokar and others under the supervision of Additional CP Crime Navinchandra Reddy, DCP (Detection) Chinmay Pandit and ACP (Crime ) Roshan Pandit.
