Three Brothers Arrested by Pune Crime Branch After Theft at Chartered Accountant’s Office

Pune Crime Branch Unit-2 arrests three brothers and a relative in connection with a burglary at a chartered accountant’s office. Stolen goods recovered; investigation ongoing.

Pune, October 2025 — Three brothers and one of their relatives have been arrested by Pune Police’s Crime Branch Unit-2 following a break-in at the office of a chartered accountant. The suspects were apprehended after authorities recovered a portion of the stolen property and gathered evidence linking them to the crime. The office owner had lodged the complaint after discovering unauthorized entry and theft of valuables.

The incident came to light when the chartered accountant discovered missing items from his office – electronic devices, documents, or other valuables (exact items to be specified) were reported missing. He filed a complaint with the local station, which was forwarded to Crime Branch Unit-2, known for handling complex theft and burglary cases.

Crime Branch detectives began an inquiry that involved examining CCTV footage, witness testimonies, and forensic evidence at the crime scene. Investigators identified suspicious activity around the office premises and followed leads pointing towards the brothers and their relative. Surveillance revealed that one of the suspects had been seen near the office around the time of the break-in, carrying a bag. Another suspect’s fingerprints were found on broken office fittings.

With these preliminary clues, the police carried out coordinated raids at multiple locations connected to the suspects. The arrests were made when officers found the stolen items in one of the houses of the accused. A laptop or computer, office equipment, cash or documents (you may insert the precise stolen goods) were among the recovered property. The suspects were taken into custody and questioned about their involvement, method of entry, and co-conspirators.

The arrested individuals are three brothers (ages and names to be confirmed) and one relative. Police allege that they planned the theft using inside knowledge or timing it when the office would be unoccupied. The stolen items’ estimated value is under inquiry, but sources say it is substantial, leading to both financial loss and reputational risk for the victim.

Crime Branch Unit-2 has registered an FIR under sections that deal with burglary, criminal trespass, theft, and possibly criminal conspiracy. The accused are likely to be produced before a magistrate, and remand may be sought. Police are also exploring whether the crime is part of a larger spree of office burglaries in the jurisdiction or connected thefts in neighbouring areas.

The office owner expressed relief that arrests were made quickly, but emphasized the emotional toll of the incident — important records lost, sense of security shaken, and trust in office safety eroded. He also urged businesses and professionals to strengthen security, invest in better locks, alarms, and visible surveillance, and avoid leaving valuable items in plain sight.

Local community members have praised the police effort and lauded the Crime Branch for acting decisively. Some residents noted that the area had been complaining of rising property thefts lately, especially at commercial premises. Some business owners say they’ve felt exposed due to lax security and are now considering pooling resources for a business-area watch.

Legal experts note that this case underscores growing concerns over targeted thefts at professional or commercial premises, where criminals often rely on timing, gaps in security, and possibly insider information. They warn that recovery of property is often slow, and victims suffer both in hard costs and in lost time reconstructing records or replacing devices.

The Pune Police have assured the public that this case will be prosecuted firmly. Steps are being taken to map related crime patterns, possibly link with other unsolved burglaries, and increase patrols around commercial zones. Meanwhile, the suspects await further inquiry, and the court will determine bail, if any, based on quantum of recovery, evidence strength, and flight risk.

This arrest sends a strong message: professional spaces like offices can be vulnerable, but law enforcement is vigilant, and criminals, even when organized, will be identified and held accountable.
