According to information given by Senior Police Inspector of Karjat Police Station Chandrashekhar Yadav, Sadguru Godad Maharaj’s Rath Yatra was going to be held this year after almost two years. Therefore, the Rath Yatra would be crowded with devotees. Taking advantage of the crowd in the Rath Yatra, many inn thieves participated in this yatra from different districts and parishes to rob the citizens, steal jewellery, cash, etc. However, the Karjat police had come to the ground with the resolve to ‘carry out this year’s Rath Yatra with enthusiasm without causing any kind of trouble to the citizens’.
Devotees were thronging to the temple of Sadhguru Godad Maharaj on Sunday. Then the Karjat police were putting oil in their eyes and working hard for the safety of the citizens. The Karjat police in the form of Vitthal, with his hands on his waist while raining on his body, watched the thieves out of the crowd with a strange look. As soon as the police noticed, the thieves were entering the crowd. However, not one but as many as 20 inn thieves were caught in the net of Karjat police in just six hours due to the trap planned by Police Inspector Chandrashekhar Yadav. There are very few people who literally appreciate this alertness of the Karjat police.
Meanwhile, crimes such as forcible theft, theft, attempted theft, loitering in suspicious circumstances have been registered against the above accused in Karjat Police Station. Five of the accused have been remanded in police custody for three days. While 12 arrested accused have many cases of theft filed in Ahmednagar, Pune Solapur Wardha. Police Inspector Chandrasekhar Yadav and his team arrested the thieves before the thefts took place, so the thefts did not happen. All Karjatkars and devotees thanked the Karjat police for this.
This operation is under the guidance of Superintendent of Police Manoj Patil, Additional Superintendent of Police Saurabh Kumar Aggarwal, Sub Divisional Police Officer Annasaheb Jadhav, Police Inspector Chandrasekhar Yadav, Police Sub Inspector Anantrao Salgude, Police Constable Shyam Jadhav, Ankush Dhavle, Pandurang Kaputkar, Sunil Khaire, Govardhan Kadam, Shakeel Baig, Ishwar Narote, Manoj Laturkar, Komal Gofane, Rani Vyavaye, Baliram Kakade, Jayashree Gaikwad, Bharat Dagore, Salim Shaikh, Uddhav Dinde, Praveen Andhare and Shahuraj Thikte..
