The trio at the Tardeo police station on Thursday
It was the arrests of two alleged accomplices in Jhalawar, Rajasthan, on August 16 that led to the apprehension of Sumit Tatwal, 37, who allegedly masterminded the robbery that led to the death of the senior citizen Surekha Agrawal, in Tardeo’s Yusuf Manzil building. One of the alleged perpetrators is absconding. The police apprehended Tatwal, a distant relative of the victims, from Malad on Wednesday.
On August 13, three unknown people barged into the Agrawals’ residence, tied Madanmohan, 75, and Surekha, 69, with cello tape and stuffed cloth in their mouths. Tatwal, who was employed in the Kalbadevi branch of the victim’s jewellery shop, told the authorities, “Ab kiya hai toh saza milegi” after he was nabbed. According to the police, Tatwal was the kingpin as he had allegedly contacted one of the accused, Surendra Singh Jhala, 34, months ago in Delhi and the duo had planned the entire crime and even formed the team to execute it.
