Delhi-based chain snatching gang busted, 10 cases solved in Nagpur
Nagpur: In a major breakthrough, the Nagpur crime branch and Dhantoli police have jointly dismantled a Delhi-based chain-snatching gang responsible for many cases across India, solving 10 cases in Nagpur alone.
The gang, led by Akshay Sharma (29) from East Sagarpur, Delhi, along with accomplices Rohit Kumar (27) from Dwarka and Rohan Tike from Nangal, was nabbed after an extensive investigation aided by CCTV footage under the supervision of senior inspector Mahesh Sagade and Anamika Mirzapure (Dhantoli).
The gang's modus operandi involved travelling to Nagpur via the Telangana Express, stealing two-wheelers, and targeting victims for chain-snatching before fleeing back to Delhi by train.
They struck multiple times in Nagpur, including four incidents in Dhantoli, two each in Sadar and Sitabuldi, and rural areas like Butibori.
The breakthrough came when the crime branch, including constables Mahendra Sadmake and Kamlesh Ganer, analysed CCTV footage from Nagpur railway station, identifying the accused arriving on the Telangana Express. They were aided by assistant PI Gajanan Chambhare. An in-depth investigation led police to scrutinise CCTV footage from railway stations at Itarsi, Bhopal, Jhansi, Gwalior, Agra, and New Delhi.

This trail confirmed the gang's origin in Delhi, with specific leads pointing to Sharma in Sagarpur and Kumar in Dwarka.
A sting operation by the crime branch resulted in Sharma's arrest, followed by Kumar and Tike. During interrogation, Sharma confessed to six chain-snatching incidents and four two-wheeler thefts in Nagpur, implicating his accomplices and revealing that stolen gold was sold to Rohit Gupta, with some valuables still with Tike.
The accused, habitual offenders with prior cases in Delhi, were produced before the Patiala House Court on July 11, 2025, and remanded in transit until July 14, 2025.
