Police arrested Jaiswal for the 64th time since 2003, is married & has a daughter.
Fifteen years, 64 arrests & dozens of people conned — 40-year-old Ramesh Jaiswal has made stealing, & getting arrested, a habit.
On Saturday, the Vanrai police arrested Jaiswal for the 64th time since 2003, after he stole a gold chain from a senior citizen at Goregaon (East) on September 15.
Around 2pm that day, Jaiswal started talking to 61-year-old Nilesh Ghag, who was standing near a bus stop outside the railway station. Jaiswal introduced himself as one, Narayan Patil, a& engaged Ghag in a conversation with the help of two of his aides. He asked Ghag to remove his gold chain, saying he wanted to take a look. Before Ghag realised what was going on, the three men fled the spot.
Ghag then filed a case at the Vanrai police station.
On the same day, Jaiswal also stole a gold chain & gold ring, worth ₹80,000 from 54-year-old Vivek Dhuri outside the Borivli railway station.
These two cases were Jaiswal’s undoing — at least for now.
He was arrested after Manik Patil, a sub-inspector at the Kasturba Marg police station, who had earlier seen his photograph, took Jaiswal into custody. His custodial interrogation revealed he had similar cases registered at the Dindoshi & Vanrai police stations too.
“Jaiswal gets out on bail & repeats the same crime under the jurisdiction of a different police station,” said a senior police officer from the Vanrai police station.
“When Ghag came to us with his complaint, we suspected Jaiswal was behind it & showed Ghag a photo of Jaiswal. Ghag identified him,” said another police official from the Vanrai station. The Dindoshi police also said Jaiswal had a case against him after he stole a gold chain from a 55-year-old man in Malad (East).
“Jaiswal is a hardened criminal, & getting information out of him is difficult,” said the senior officer from the Vanrai police station. “He keeps changing his address, making it difficult to even arrest him.”
A Class 4 dropout, also claimed he is married & has a daughter.
