A team from the Mira Bhayander Vasai Virar (MBVV) police apprehended Ashish Kumar alias Badhoria Rajkumar Bhatu, 38 and Amit Kumar Pradeep Kumar, 36, from Moradabad in Uttar Pradesh on Friday, an officer said. The duo were involved in chain snatching, drug peddling, attempt to murder, rape and offences under the Arms Act in different parts of the country, senior inspector Pramod Badakh said.
