India, April 5 -- The Mulund police arrested a 32-year-old burglar who had been targeting homes in broad daylight. The accused, identified as Rajesh Rajbhar, a native of Uttar Pradesh, was apprehended on Friday following a series of house break-ins across multiple locations in the city.

According to police sources, Rajbhar arrived in Mumbai on March 13 via a flight from Varanasi and rented a room in Kalwa. Over the next two weeks, he executed five burglaries during the daytime, taking advantage of residents being away at work or on errands. Unlike conventional burglars who operate under the cover of darkness, Rajbhar's modus operandi relied on striking when homes were empty in broad daylight.
