“Had employers checked on criminal antecedents of their employees, the offences committed could have, probably, been avoided,” said Police Commissioner DN Jadhav.
“Had employers checked on criminal antecedents of their employees, the offences committed could have, probably, been avoided,” said Police Commissioner DN Jadhav, referring to the three cases of robbery and murder solved by Mumbai police on Monday.
He further said that police had been constantly requesting citizens to check on the background of persons they were employing in residences as well as business establishments.
Dahisar jewel heist
One of the three cases Jadhav referred to was the Rs40-lakh robbery at a jewellery shop in Dahisar. “The person suspected to have committed the robbery had been employed by the owner just three days before the incident.
His background was not checked despite there being three similar cases registered against him at Vikroli police station,” said Jadhav.
One of the suspects, Bhairusing Chadana, had worked at Vandana Jewellers for three weeks in January this year. “During this time, he managed to make duplicate keys of the safe and the shutter of the shop.
Thereafter, Chadana left employment and kept the duplicate keys with him,” said Joint Commissioner of Police (crime) Rakesh Maria.
On October 9, Harisingh Dhasana took up employment in the shop under the name of Kisan Singh. “Harisingh has criminal cases against him in Rajasthan,” Maria said.
Two days after he joined, Harisingh teamed up with Bhairusing to loot the store.
TV actor’s murder
Another case stressing commissioner’s point was the murder of television actor Manisha Agarwal. Manisha, who had featured in serials like Bhabi, Son Pari, Sabse Bada Rupaiya and Marathi movie Uchcha Pati, was found brutally murdered on April 14 in her Kandivili apartment.
The murder had baffled investigators as the killers had left no trail behind and decamped with just Rs1500 and a gold ring.
The Kandivili unit of Crime Branch on Monday arrested two youths from Bihar for planning and murdering Manisha.
“One of the suspects Sunil Singh was once employed as a servant at the deceased’s house. This is another instance of negligence on part of the employer to check employee’s background and getting him registered with the local police,” Jadhav said.
