Yetwatilal alias Bhagat Singh Sukha Urav had landed in Mumbai from New Delhi after stealing a pistol and valuables from the house of his employer
A 19-year-old youth was arrested by the police from a guest house in Dongri on May 22. Yetwatilal alias Bhagat Singh Sukha Urav had landed in Mumbai from New Delhi after stealing a pistol and valuables from the house of his employer, apparently to “make an album of Bhojpuri songs”.
According to the police, Urav was working as a domestic help for Inder Singh Devatram, 56, a building contractor residing at Prashant Vihar in north-west Delhi. He had stolen a US-made Colt pistol loaded with five live cartridges, an arms licence, three digital cameras, a mobile phone, and a set of car keys, all belonging to Devatram.
“Urav hails from Godda district in Jharkhand and had been working in Devatram’s house as a domestic help for the past three years. He has been remanded to judicial custody till June 8 by the metropolitan magistrate’s court at Mazgaon,” said senior inspector Bharat Tambe of Dongri police station.
When a police team was checking the lodges and guest houses in the Dongri area, it found Urav with the valuables and the loaded pistol.
Investigating officer sub-inspector BM Rokade of Dongri police station said, “While conducting routine checks at lodges and guest houses in Dongri under the supervision of DCP (Zone-I) Brijesh Singh on May 22, we found Rs54,700, a gold chain weighing 45 gm, a Titan wrist watch, a mobile phone, three digital cameras, a loaded pistol and an arms licence in Urav’s bag.”
During interrogation, police said, Urav revealed that he had stolen the valuables and the pistol from the cupboard of his master’s house on May 15 night and fled. He boarded the Punjab Mail the next day, reached Mumbai on May 17 and checked into Al-Kabeer guest house. After he spent the entire day sleeping in his room, he went about sight-seeing till May 22. Urav also told the police that he had come to the city to make an album of Bhojpuri songs.
When the police asked Urav why the arms licence was without the photograph of Devatram, he replied that he had removed it as he wanted to fix his own photograph on it.
Tambe said that the police have contacted Prashant Vihar police station where a case of theft was lodged against Urav by Devatram on May 16.
