Six persons have been arrested by Mumbai police today in connection with a dacoity in suburban Juhu last month.
Shankar Kale, 45, Dadya Kale, 35, Sunil Shinde, 29, Abadas Shinde, 55, Prakash Patil, 55, and Sarvan Das, 32, were arrested by a team from Juhu police station, said DCP Satyanarayan Chaudhary.
"Police are searching for another five unidentified accused," Chaudhary added.
On the early morning of July 31, the accused forcibly entered Jaymata Kutir, the bungalow of Harishchandra Mishra, 69, on the Gandhigram Road in Juhu, and robbed cash.
The bungalow is a disputed property, and the police were probing whether this fact had any connection with the crime, a police source said.
The dacoits fled with Rs two lakh in cash, of which Rs 15,000 were recovered from the arrested men. Police also recovered a sickle, a pointed iron rod and some sharp tools used in the crime.
