The city police recorded fewer number of chain snatchings in Pune and Pimpri-Chinchwad areas during the civic elections. The heightened security saw the presence of most policemen, including senior officers, on the roads.
The Swargate police arrested two suspects, identified as Nitin Anil Ahankari (19) of Dias Plot and Rajesh Dnyaneshwar Mane (22) of Laxminagar on a complaint by Manili Rajan Kamble (42), a homemaker. She lodged a complaint with the Swargate police that the suspects approached her from behind and snatched her gold chain valued at Rs27,000 on Saturday. Kamble is a resident of Vinayak Society in Sahakarnagar. On Saturday night, she was on her way home. Near Sarasbaug, two suspects came from behind and snatched her chain. Inspector Suryakant Kamble told DNA, “Ahankari has a criminal record since 2006 and has six such cases registered against him.
