The accused have been identified as Shekhar Hemraj Wani and Shivani Dilip Salunkhe of Keshavnagar in Manjari, Hadapsar. The duo hails from Solapur.

Girish Dighavkar, senior inspector, Cantonment police, said, “The duo was earlier booked in similar cases by police stations in Pune city, Thane, Mumbai, Satara, and Sindhudurg. The duo entered the jewellery store posing as customers and stole small jewellery articles like earrings and finger rings by distracting the shopkeeper on October 31. Following a complaint, we analysed CCTV camera footages and tracked the duo, who had fled the shop on two-wheeler, from Mundhwa. While they were not present in their house, we laid a trap and nabbed them later from the area.”
