According to police sources, Solanki reportedly worked as a cook for Malik around three years ago. Versova cops got two complaints this month regarding cycle thefts in Andheri (West).
“The modus operandi in both the thefts were the same — he entered the building premises, searched for unlocked cycles and fled with them. The first case of theft took place near a building at Seven Bungalows. A case was registered on January 7. Two days later, a similar theft was reported from a building on JP Road. In the first case, the complainant Arun Cheviskar said his own cycle was stolen, in the second case, complainant Wali Sayyed said the stolen vehicle belonged to his relative,” said a police officer from Versova police station.
