MUMBAI: Two Mumbai Police Constables have been arrested on charges of kidnapping and robbery executed in 'filmy' style from Juhu to Dahisar, Mumbai Police said on Saturday. The accused allegedly looted $10, 000 from a delivery executive, while three other accomplices remain at large.

The incident has once again raised serious concerns about the image of the Mumbai Police. In the Juhu area, two Constables, acting in collusion with their associates, allegedly kidnapped a delivery executive working for a forex company and robbed him of foreign currency. In connection with this sensational case, the Juhu Police have arrested the two policemen, while the remaining three accused are still absconding. The looted amount has not yet been recovered.

According to the police, the arrested accused have been identified as Sandeep Shinde (33) and Gajendra Rajput (40), who were posted at the Bandra-Kurla Complex and Jogeshwari police stations, respectively. Both allegedly misused their uniforms and official positions to carry out the crime.
