Several people waiting outside the bungalow spotted the suspects and alerted Sunil Raut, the younger brother of the MP and a local MLA. The police were quickly notified, and a team from the Kanjurmarg police station arrived to investigate.
Sunil Raut said, "A bike with two people on it stopped in front of my house. The bike’s number plate wasn’t visible, but it seemed to be from Uttar Pradesh or Bihar. Both individuals were wearing full helmets and jackets and carried a total of 10 mobile phones. After recording footage of the house, they left. This is very concerning, and the police should take it seriously and investigate."
Police are reviewing CCTV footage from the area, which shows the two men on the motorcycle. It is suspected they were conducting a recce, and efforts are underway to gather information on their identities and vehicle.
No case has been filed so far. However, police have said that a case will be registered if the investigation uncovers any serious findings.
