Ahmednagar Police arrest influencer Komal Kale and her boyfriend for stealing jewellery and cash from women on buses, exposing a planned theft operation.
Ahmednagar, December 04, 2025 – Ahmednagar Police have arrested social media influencer Komal Kale, a relative of Satish Bhosale, after uncovering her role in a series of thefts targeting women travelling by bus. The arrest has sparked wide attention, not only because of the allegations but also due to Kale’s online popularity, with more than 50,000 followers who knew her only for her polished reels and lifestyle posts. The police investigation, however, revealed a starkly different picture behind the curated social media persona.
According to officers, a pattern of theft complaints from women using public transport had been rising for several weeks. Victims reported missing cash, jewellery and small valuables, often without realising exactly when the items were taken. After surveillance and follow-up on multiple complaints, police identified Kale and her boyfriend, Sujit Rajendra Chaudhari, as suspects. Both were detained after officials collected evidence linking them to multiple incidents.
Investigators say the couple would board buses appearing like regular commuters and position themselves close to female passengers. They allegedly planned their moves carefully, choosing crowded timings and routes where thefts could happen unnoticed. During interrogation, police recovered various valuables believed to have been stolen from different women. Officers are now matching the recovered items with filed complaints to determine the full scale of the operation.
The revelation that Kale is related to Satish Bhosale, who has faced accusations in other criminal matters, intensified public interest and added a new layer of controversy to the case. Residents and social media users expressed shock over the contrast between her online image and the allegations against her. Many said the incident highlights how online popularity can create a misleading illusion of trustworthiness.
Police have urged more potential victims to come forward, especially women who may have recently lost valuables while travelling on buses. They noted that such thefts often go unreported because victims assume they misplaced the item rather than suspecting deliberate wrongdoing. Officers emphasised that identifying all possible victims is essential for building a complete case and ensuring accountability.
Authorities also pointed out the need for caution in crowded public spaces. They advised commuters to stay alert, keep bags zipped, secure jewellery and avoid placing valuables in easily accessible pockets. The case has triggered discussion about personal safety, especially among women who regularly rely on public transport for work or education.
The investigation remains active, and police are examining whether Kale and her partner operated alone or had additional support. Officers are also reviewing CCTV footage from various buses and terminals to connect the couple to other unsolved theft cases in the region. More arrests have not been ruled out as the inquiry progresses.
As the story develops, it serves as a reminder that appearances — especially online — can be deceiving. The arrest marks a significant breakthrough for Ahmednagar Police, who had been tracking the theft pattern for weeks. For now, the focus remains on tracing all victims, recovering stolen property and ensuring the case moves forward with strong evidence.
