Mumbai: Malad police, at 11 on Sunday night, released sketches of two of the three accused of looting a jewellery shop in Orlem the same morning.
They have already caught one of the suspects, Rajesh Nadar, who was spotted and nabbed after he walked back to the store in a drunken state.
"We are hopeful that the sketches will help us catch the accused as they have been verified from the witnesses in the case," said Police Sub-Inspector Manoj Limkar of Malad police station.
"Bhagirathi, in his statement, told us that when he opened the shop, three masked men entered and attacked him with a knife.
However, police were able to nab one of the accused, Rajesh Nadar, within an hour of the incident.
Pappuram happens to be the brother of the jewellery store owner, Appuram. He first ignored the trio," informed Harpude.
"Rajesh was inebriated. Since he was wearing a mask while robbing the shop, he thought nobody would recognise him. So, he went to the same area soon after," said Harpude.
He caught him with the help of locals in the area and handed him over to the police, who were having a tough time questioning the accused as he was drunk.
On the basis of the sketches and Rajesh's interrogation, we are sure to catch the other two accomplices," PSI Limkar told MiD DAY late in the night.
Meanwhile, Sundaram Jewellers have been able to recover some jewellery items, which had fallen out of the bags the accused were carrying.
