Bombay Tribune (Mumbai)The Iranian settlement in Kalyan’s western outskirts is notorious for harbouring criminals. Police have frequently attempted to apprehend the accused by conducting sweeps of the area. However, every time locals protest in the area, the police are forced to return empty-handed. Many types of activities, such as throwing stones at police, obstructing police, and assisting the accused in escaping, are common in this area. During a 2008 operation, police were forced to fire in the air in self-defense.
Police in Manpada had received information that Hasnain Syed, a Mocca suspect, was hiding in the area. At the same time, DCP Sachin Gunjal’s team set up a trap for the action and pursued the accused in a filmic manner in the Irani area. This time, some women attempted to attack the police in order to free the accused. However, Hasnain was apprehended by police and taken directly to Manpada police station.
Hasnain Syed is regarded as a major chain snatching criminal in the country. He has evaded capture in a total of 20 cases. In Karnataka, Satara, Hadapsar, Pune, Thane, Kharghar, Pune, Kothrud, Khadakpada, Wagle Estate, Bhiwandi, Ambernath, Rabale, Narpoli, Navi Mumbai, and Khandeshwar, a case has been filed against him.
