In a significant breakthrough, the Local Crime Branch (LCB) of Patan police has finally apprehended a woman who had been evading the law for over a decade. The arrest brings closure to multiple theft cases that had remained unsolved since 2014.
End of an 11-Year Manhunt
Acting on a specific tip-off, a dedicated team from the LCB successfully located and captured the accused, identified as Krishna Sodhiya. Police officials confirmed that Sodhiya had been absconding for 11 long years, managing to stay off the radar since the cases were first registered. Her arrest marks the culmination of a persistent search operation spanning more than a decade.
Gang Links and Widespread Crimes
Investigations reveal that Krishna Sodhiya is a known member of the 'Kadiya Sansi' criminal gang. She was traced and arrested from Pachore in the Rajgarh district of Madhya Pradesh, indicating her movement across state lines to avoid capture. According to police records, she was a wanted accused in a series of theft cases filed at three different police stations in Gujarat back in 2014.
The specific police stations where cases were lodged against her include:
- Patan City B Division police station
- Ambaji police station
- Deesa South police station
Legal Process and Next Steps
With the arrest now complete, the legal machinery is set in motion. The Patan LCB team will handle the necessary procedures for her formal arrest and subsequent custody and interrogation. The police aim to delve deeper into the details of the 2014 cases and explore any potential connections to other unsolved crimes. This arrest serves as a stern reminder that law enforcement agencies maintain their pursuit of wanted individuals, regardless of the time elapsed.
The successful operation highlights the effectiveness of tip-based intelligence and inter-district police coordination in tracking down long-term fugitives.
