Two brothers arrested for theft

A major breakthrough came for the Jamshedpur Police, on Wednesday, for a complicated theft case involving close family members. The suspected duo – Abhishek Chaudhury and Vishal Chaudhury have been arrested, after the police recovered cash (Rs 10,15,000) and gold ornaments from the residence of Vishal’s girlfriend, in Jugsalai.

The brothers in their early twenties, had been arrested after the police had registered an FIR on the basis of a case lodged by Devendra Chaudhury, at the Jugsalai Police Station on November 28, against his brother Surendra Chaudhury and his family.

Sharing the details, senior superintendent of police, M Tamil Vanan said Chaudhury, in his complaint, had maintained that cash worth Rs 12 lakhs and gold ornaments had gone missing from his Jugsalai residence, when he was out of town for some work. However, the lock of his residence was intact even after the theft.

As there was no outsider in the house, Devendra suspected his brother Surendra Chaudhury, his wife and children to have committed the theft. On getting the FIR we set up a special team to get the case investigated,” Vanan said.

“Led by the deputy superintendent of police (law and order) Alok Ranjan, the team first interrogated Surendra Chaudhury and his wife, but failed to get any clue. Subsequently the team interrogated Surendra’s two sons,” he added.
