A team of Naranpura police arrested three persons in connection with theft of copper wires belonging to BSNL from near BSNL office on Friday night. Police have started search for the absconding members of the group.
According to Naranpura police, a team was on patrol when they saw a group digging near BSNL office late in the night. Suspicious, when they approached the dug-up hole, one of the men started running away. Police stopped three others and questioned them.
"The trio was identified as Bansiram Kumawat, a resident of Vadaj, Ramesh Parmar, a resident of Shahpur and Labhuram Kumawat, a resident of Vasna. The man who escaped from the spot was identified as Dashrath Dabhi. The group confessed that they were stealing the copper wires laid by the government-owned telecom company. They had stolen and sold the wires earlier as well. They used to dig up the wire line and cut the sections with saw and crowbar," said a Naranpura police official.
Officials added that a number of gangs are active in Ahmedabad specializing in telecom wire thefts. "Three to four of the gangs have been busted earlier and they are being watched regularly. They generally use a truck to use as shield while digging and later carrying the wire to the illegal receiver of the goods. We have also kept tab on such receivers," said a senior city police official.
