Parmod Naik, 51, who had been absconding after marrying a widow and fleeing with her jewellery, has been arrested by Dindoshi police in Pune after 15 days. According to the police, Naik fled Mumbai and attempted to sell the stolen gold ornaments to a gold loan company in Pune. However, he could not get his desired price and was searching for another buyer.

After his location was tracked to Baner in Pune, a police team led by API Om Totawar was deployed to the area, where he was found and taken into custody. The police also recovered approximately 29.5 tolas of gold, 1.5 kg of silver ornaments and cash, which Naik had stolen from his second wife’s house in Malad.
