Pune, March 3 Mounting pressure in the wake of the theft of Sant Tukaram Maharaj’s mask from the temple at Dehu kept the rural police on their toes on Monday. Two of the suspected men — Sanjay Shinde of Ganj Peth and Bhima Bhingardive of Dehu — have been arrested. Besides, temple district superintendent of police Vishwas Nangare Patil formed 12 teams comprising 110 policemen for a combing operation in different parts of Pune. As many as 100 people were detained for questioning.

The police have prepared a sketch of the suspects based on the description given by two school students who claimed to see the thieves.

Meanwhile, district guardian minister Ajit Pawar, marketing minister Harshawardhan Patil and BJP general secretary Gopinath Munde visited Dehu. Pawar appealed the citizens of Dehu to maintain law and order situation, while Munde demanded State government to apologise for its failure to control the rising number of crimes.
