PUNE: Four unemployed men, aged between 19 and 27 years, were arrested within hours after they allegedly intercepted and robbed a Wai resident of Rs5,000 near Uruli Devachi on Pune-Saswad road around midnight on Saturday.
Police recovered two motorcycles used in the crime and the robbed cash from the four men of Uruli Devachi. “Santosh Gautam Chavan (27), Laxman Chandrakant Dharwadkar (23), Deepak Shrirang Sakat (19) and Vikas Anil Kusale (22) are the arrested men. They are unemployed and do not have any criminal background,” said inspector Pramod Hambir of the Loni Kalbhor police.
