On the next day Samir aged about 19 years was arrested by the Police in connection with a similar offence. He gave information to the Police that the day before he had snatched gold necklace of a woman and sold it to Sonare Jeweller. He showed that shop. Police seized gold ingot of 40 gms and sale receipt bearing signature of Samir.
Police did further investigation and filed charge-sheet against Samir.
