Following the successful recovery of the property, the Kosi Kalan police registered an official case against the accused.

The team involved in the arrest and recovery included Station House Officer (SHO) Kamlesh Singh, along with Sub-Inspector Uttam Chauhan, who serves as the in-charge of the Kotwan police outpost. They were assisted by Head Constables Satish Chand and Brijit, alongside Constable Saurabh. The department has stated that this action serves as a deterrent against thefts targeting industrial units within the UPSIDC zone, which is a significant economic hub for the Mathura region.

Focus on Industrial Security

The arrest has once again highlighted the ongoing concerns regarding security measures within the industrial corridors of Mathura. Factory owners in the Kosi Kalan and Kotwan areas have been advised to enhance their internal surveillance and access control protocols to mitigate risks of theft. The police department remains vigilant, noting that such industrial thefts disrupt local supply chains and cause significant financial losses to businesses operating in the district. The local administration is continuing its efforts to ensure a safe environment for businesses by maintaining a robust police presence across these industrial pockets. The accused is currently facing standard judicial procedures, and the recovered boiler has been documented as physical evidence for the upcoming trial proceedings. Local authorities confirmed that they are conducting further questioning to ensure no other parties were involved in the logistics or planning of the theft, as investigations of this nature often lead to the discovery of wider organized theft rings operating near industrial estates.
