PASIGHAT, May 24: Ruksin Police achieved a major breakthrough in recent shop burglary cases after putting in sustained efforts on various leads.
Multiple FIRs were registered in Ruksin PS after the shopkeepers of Ruksin Township informed about series of thefts in the recent past and similar nature of cases were also reported from places like Jonai and Simen Chapori areas of Assam as well.
East Siang SP Sumit Kumar Jha informed that a person named Birakhat Rabha @ Bishnu, 62, hailing from Tripura was arrested and on sustained interrogation, revealed that he committed the burglaries to make up for the loss that he recently incurred in his Piggery business.
The culprit had a unique Modus-operandi in which he used to enter the shops through its ceiling during night hours. At first, he used to cut down the wires of CCTV cameras and then take away leftover cash from the counter of the shop without touching other items. He used to sleep at nearby Railway stations and travelled on train from one destination to other in order to commit crime. He committed burglaries all alone without any accomplice, informed SP Jha.
Many CCTV footages were analyzed and photos of the culprit were circulated among the general public. More than 20 suspects having similar physical attributes were rounded up and interrogated in detail. Information gathering through human and technical intelligence was done and finally, with active support from Assam Police of Dhemaji District and particularly SDPO Jonai and his team, the culprit was caught on Monday night from Simen Chapori, Dhemaji District (Assam).
With this arrest, more than five cases of Assam and Arunachal Pradesh have been solved. SP East Siang appreciated Ruksin PS Team led by ASP Tasi Darang and also OC SI Chacko Joseph for their tireless efforts and excellent coordination with Assam Police.  Further interrogation is on.
