While Gupta was remanded in police custody till February 10, the police were directed to put Thakur in the Dongri children’s home till February 15.
A manhunt has been launched to nab the other two. A gang of four got into a Virar-bound local at Bhayander in the early hours of February 5. Ashok Patel, 21 and Ishwar Kushwah, 22, were the only passengers in the compartment. They snatched away their cellphones and jumped off near Naigaon.
