​Hyderabad: City police on Saturday arrested a notorious robber who had been eluding arrest for years and committing robberies at his will. The accused robber, Shakeel Ahmed, gave a slip to the police when he was released on parole in 2006 while undergoing prison term in connection with a kidnap and attempt to murder case registered in Mumbai. He reached Hyderabad along with his family and was in hibernation for six years during which he ran a cosmetics shop for a living under a fake identity of Mohammed Ali, police said.
However, he reverted back to criminal activities in 2012 and began chain snatchings. The next year he married another woman Ayesha in Hyderabad. According to the police, Shakeel used to steal Bajaj Pulsar motor cycle and then commit chain snatchings on the stolen bike. Till May 2016, he committed as many as 21 chain snatchings without even being identified, police said.
Then he took his first wife and kids to Bengaluru where he stayed for ten months before returning to Hyderabad leaving his first wife and kids there. Shakeel joined his second wife in March 2017 and resumed robberies, police said adding that he had committed as many as 26 chain snatchings, two robberies and three motor bike thefts till he was nabbed on Saturday.
Police recovered about 900 grams of gold ornaments, three bikes and two mobile phones at his instance. “We are planning to send proposals to the police commissioner with a request to detain Shakeel under PD Act,” B Limba Reddy, Deputy Commissioner of Police, Task Force, said.
