INDIA COMPUTERS STOLEN Robber who killed witness 13 yrs ago held
Mumbai, February 1: Thirteen years after he allegedly killed a rickshaw driver who had seen him break into a house, the law finally caught up with robber Ramakant alias Raju Modak (38).

The Rabala police on Friday arrested Ramakant—he has reportedly been comitting robberies and thefts for over a decade—along with his associates Vijay Sriram (25) and Sameer Parkar (33) while they were trying to flee with yet another lot of stolen goods.

While patrolling in Airoli, Navi Mumbai, a team of police officers headed by Police Inspector Shatrugan Madi motioned the rickshaw the trio was travelling in to stop and found it stacked with computers and electronic goods.

The trio was then taken to the Rabala police station where they confessed to the offence.

‘‘Ramakant has confessed to killing a rickshaw driver who had seen him breaking into a house 13 years ago. He has also given details of the various robberies he’s spearheaded in the past’’ confirmed Shamsher Khan Pathan, senior police inspector, Rabala police station.

‘‘We recovered computers and electronic gadgets worth around Rs 2.43 lakh and a country-made revolver from them,’’ he added.

The trio, who targetted shops and offices, had a simple modus operandi. ‘‘After parking their auto outside the shop or office they intended breaking into, Ramakant and his associates would break into the shop while the driver would stay guard outside and help them load the valuable items stolen,’’ Pathan explained.

The police is now trying to ascertain the identity of Ramakant’s other associates.
