Waluj MIDC police have arrested two hardcore criminals, who had come to sell a bullet motorcycle, from Ranjangaon, on Tuesday morning. Later on, the police confiscated eight motorcycles of valuing Rs 4.16 lakh from their possession.
Acting upon the information, the assistant police inspector (API) Gautam Wavale and his team lay a trap to hold two accused who had arrived to sell the bullet motorcycle in Ranjangaon. They introduced themselves as Amit Ashok Nagare (27, Newasa) and Sagar Kantilal Dalve (23, Mhada Colony in Gangapur). The cops then demanded for vehicle documents (of bullet bearing number MH 26, BZ 1762), but failed to produce it.
