19-year-old arrested for stealing jewellery by drilling hole through shop wall
Ahmedabad (PTI): Police has arrested a 19-year-old man for allegedly stealing jewellery worth Rs 1.75 lakh by drilling a hole through the rear wall of a jewellery shop, an official said on Saturday.
The stolen booty was also recovered from the possession of Ashwin Khadiya, the accused, he said.
Khadiya allegedly committed the theft on the night of January 8, bypassing high-security shutters and breaking through a brick wall.
Crime branch officials suspected that someone involved in construction or manual labor was involved, given the labor-intensive nature of the crime. Police then focused on labor colonies near Ramol canal and Jamfalwadi area and also examined the feed of hundreds of CCTV cameras across Hatkeshwar-Ramol corridor.
The crime branch also tracked the suspect's digital breadcrumbs (trace of online activity) and anticipated that he would try to move the jewellery. A trap was set near Shaktimata temple in Jamfalwadi and Khadiya was arrested on Friday, the official said.

DMK seeks separate seating in Lok Sabha after split with Congress alliance
New Delhi: Kanimozhi Karunanidhi has written to the Lok Sabha Speaker seeking a separate seating arrangement for Members of Parliament belonging to the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) following the end of the party’s alliance with the Indian National Congress.
In a letter dated May 7 addressed to the Speaker of the Lok Sabha, Kanimozhi said the changed political situation made it inappropriate for DMK MPs to continue sitting alongside Congress members in the House.
She requested the Speaker to make “suitable changes” in the seating arrangement of the DMK Parliamentary Party and allot separate seating for its MPs.
“In view of the changed political circumstances and as our alliance with the Indian National Congress has come to an end, it may not be appropriate for our Members to continue occupying the present seating arrangement alongside them in the House,” the letter stated.
Kanimozhi further said separate seating would help DMK members effectively discharge their responsibilities in the Lok Sabha.
