Dehradun police have arrested Bangladesh resident Mirzanur Rahman in connection with a jewellery theft case registered in Patel Nagar. He was detained in Malda, West Bengal, after remaining wanted for about 34 months, according to police.

Rahman was brought to Dehradun on transit remand by a team from Patel Nagar police station. He is scheduled to be presented before a court on Friday. Police said further action in the case is underway.

How the investigation developed

Patel Nagar resident Milli filed a first information report on 1 January 2024 after jewellery was stolen from her house following the forced opening of a door. Police initially registered the case against unidentified suspects and began investigating.

CCTV footage helped investigators arrest Kanpur resident Govind Shukla on 22 January 2024. During questioning, police said Shukla identified Rahman and other associates as people involved in the theft.

A lookout notice was subsequently issued against Rahman. Dehradun police were informed on 8 October 2026 that he had been caught at the Mohadipur check in Malda, West Bengal.

A Patel Nagar police team then travelled to West Bengal. Police brought Rahman to Dehradun on 15 October on transit remand.

Police account of the stolen money

During questioning, Rahman allegedly told police that Shukla gave him ₹60 thousand as his share after the theft. Police said Rahman denied knowing about the other people involved in the incident.

The statements remain part of the police investigation. The available report does not establish a court finding on the allegations against Rahman or Shukla.

Conclusion

Police have brought the wanted accused to Dehradun after his arrest in Malda, and he is due to appear before a court on Friday as the investigation continues.
