Acting on a tip-off, a police team laid a trap and intercepted a tempo near Mhatre bridge and during the search, recovered the stolen items from the vehicle. “The accused worked for a contractor appointed by the FTII for cleaning the premises, so he used to visit the institute on some days… when he stole the various items,” said Senior Police Inspector Murlidhar Karpe.
